Non-Euclidean Geometry in Architecture

The document discusses the history of geometry in architecture from the early Modern movement to contemporary Postmodern pioneers. It addresses different geometric forms like the "divine", "free form", and "combinatorial form" and how architects have applied geometric shapes and lines over time. Examples are given of architects like Wright, Goff, Hecker who used polygonal and polyhedral systems as well as more recent figures like Eisenman, Gehry, and Hadid who explored non-Euclidean geometries. The document cautions that geometry works best when used to address environmental constraints and topography rather than just focusing on abstract form.

From Ghyka and the


Euclidean practises of the
Modern movement

To the exploration of the


apparent non-Euclidian
by Post Modern pioneers of
the non Historicist stock
Eisenman, Gehry, Hadid

GEOMETRIC FORMS
1. The divine
The form whose existence is undeniable

2. The free form


Based on personal decision of the designer (curves of
no apparent origin, unfamiliar shapes)

3. The combinatorial
form

Geometric shapes composed of parts of the divine &


parts that may belong to free, accomodate the
complexity of the occasional architectural problem

The various lines & geometric shapes and their


architectural application through time

It addresses the supermacy of geometric over


analytical depiction, and the reasons for the appeal
of geometry over the years. The early emphasis of
aesthetes on geometry was partial, with a focus on
elevations, proportional systems, and the concept
of symphonic composition. It also discusses about
the relationship of the various building types and
their corresponding fit with geometry and the
concept of geometric fields is viewed through
both historical examples and contemporary
complex building types. The caution he gave is that
geometry can be misused when the emphasis is on
form as opposed to the inclusivist concerns.
