{"product_id":"parametric-geometry-of-curves-and-alberto-lastra-9783030813161","title":"Parametric Geometry of Curves and Surfaces: Architectural Form-Finding","description":"This textbook provides a thorough introduction to the differential geometry of parametrized curves and surfaces, along with a wealth of applications to specific architectural elements. \u003cp\u003eGeometric elements in architecture respond to practical, physical and aesthetic needs. Proper understanding of the mathematics underlying the geometry provides control over the construction. This book relates the classical mathematical theory of parametrized curves and surfaces to multiple applications in architecture. The presentation is mathematically complete with numerous figures and animations illustrating the theory, and special attention is given to some of the recent trends in the field. Solved exercises are provided to see the theory in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntended as a textbook for lecture courses, \u003ci\u003eParametric Geometry of Curves and Surfaces\u003c\/i\u003e is suitable for mathematically-inclined students in engineering, architecture and related fields, and can also serve as a textbook for traditional differential geometry courses to mathematics students. Researchers interested in the mathematics of architecture or computer-aided design will also value its combination of precise mathematics and architectural examples.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alberto Lastra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030813169\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030813161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Birkhauser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Alberto Lastra","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945011020031,"sku":"9783030813161","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_43fe3f62-57f8-452c-b16c-22514b88dbb9.jpg?v=1681506261","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parametric-geometry-of-curves-and-alberto-lastra-9783030813161","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
