A course based on my primary research interest:
Architecture
and Mathematics course web page
A biography of Andrea Palladio I wrote for his quincentenary:
Celebrating the Year of Palladio 1508-2008
My favorite journal:
Nexus
Network Journal: Architecture and Mathematics Online
My favorite NNJ issue (as I was a
guest co-editor):
Autumn
2008 Special
Issue on Andrea Palladio
My second favorite NNJ issue (as I was the
guest editor):
Winter
2002 Special
Issue on the Golden Section
(Note, this issue takes a cautious and
objective look at the
role of the golden section in art and architecture.)
