Abstract: Abstract Three ways of thinking about the history of ideas—the revolutionary, the reactionary and the revivalist—are useful when examining connections and relationships between architecture and mathematics from the sixteenth century to the present, and projecting them into the future. Here the authors provide an overview of historical developments in the profession of architecture and the discipline of mathematics from 1500 to today, and introduce the 45 chapters that comprise the second volume of this present work.
