Most recently the focus within the architectural profession is shifting from the relevance of drawing in pencil to the conceptual relationship between electronic and digital architecture and the architecture of the built environment. It is important to examine the computer's cognitive implications on architecture and whether there are emerging new modes of thinking about architecture, space and form of the built environment. Information technologies and the construction industry are coming together in ways once unimaginable, and their union is changing what people do inside buildings, as well as how buildings are designed and built. The process of architectural design aims to define a physical form that will achieve certain functional and behavioral objectives in a particular context. The use of computers at various stages of the design process has implications for the way designing is carried out. Research in CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) especially electronic design (e-design) has the potential to significantly enhance both the architectural design process and its outcome and the architectural education. This Conference Proceedings can contribute in identifying various issues related to e-Design in Architecture and their potential impacts on architectural education and practice. The Conference Proceedings includes 23 refereed research papers from researchers and professionals coming from 13 countries worldwide. I commend and thank the authors for their response to the reviewers’ feedback and thanks to Mr. Shakeel Ahmed at the KFUPM Press who helped me greatly while editing this Conference Proceedings.

    Spirolaterals: Math Is Art

    CALIFORNIA STATE SCIENCE FAIR 2008 PROJECT SUMMARY Name(s) Project Number Ben Ackerman J1301 Project Title Thinking in Semicircles: The Area of an Arbelos Abstract Objectives/Goals The purpose of this experiment was to prove that the area of an arbelos is equal to the area of a circle whose diameter is the altitude of a right triangle drawn to the hypotenuse, which is inscribed in a semicircle. The experiment involved creating a mathematical proof using the knowledge of various geometry theorems and postulates, and applying them to the diagram in order to create accurate formulas for both areas. The history of Geometry and the format for a mathematical proof are discussed. Methods/Materials The materials to construct the diagram used for this proof include a pencil, a ruler, and a compass. The area of the arbelos was found by subtracting the areas of the two smaller inner semicircle from the larger one. The diameter of the circle, which was also the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle inscribed in the larger semicircle, was found using the theorem, which states that the altitude drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the two segments of the hypotenuse. By dividing the altitude, or the diameter, in two, the radius of the circle was found, thus making the area of the circle possible to calculate. Once the dust settled, the two formulas for the areas were equal. Results The proof held true. Once the areas of the arbelos and the circle were calculated they were equal.

  • Polytiles: Equilateral and Equiangular Polygons (Part 1A)

    Polytiles: Equilateral and Equiangular Polygons (Part 1A)

    Polytiles: Equilateral and Equiangular Polygons (part 1a) Thomas L Ruen [email protected] Abstract This introductory paper defines a polytile or p-tile as an equilateral polygon with turn angles as multiples of 360°/p, for even p=4, 6, 8…. Polytile notation is offered as a simple way to describe these polygons, with a geometric interpretation as a cycle of edge-to-edge regular p-gons, with vertices centered on each p-gon. A wide range of examples polygons and tilings are shown in this paper to demonstrate a breadth of value. A next paper, part 1b, will formalize the definition and report an enumeration of convex polytiles. Further papers will elaborate topics introduced in this paper including stars, compounds, extending notations, recursively extended polygons, symmetry, naming of polygons, and partial and fractional polytiles which allow one or two unequal edge lengths. 1. Introduction Equilateral polygons are polygons with equal edge-lengths. Equiangular polygons [2] are polygons with equal vertex angles. Polygons which are both equilateral and equiangular are called regular. This paper primarily looks at equilateral polygons, with section 5 exploring equiangular ones. When we are looking at equilateral polygons, we will count colinear vertices as vertices, while for equiangular polygons, we will ignore these and count as longer edges with integer lengths. The simplest irregular equilateral polygons are isotoxal [12] or edge-transitive, with identical edges within its symmetry, alternating two vertex types. The simplest equiangular polygons are isogonal or vertex-transitive, with identical vertices within its symmetry, alternating two edge types. Figure 1 shows hexagons: regular, isotoxal, and isogonal polygons.
