Possibly, as it seems that Helmut Pottmann's 2007 book was the first to use the term as a title, but Scholar records multiple usages since then. The stub was created in 2008 by a near-SPA and has barely been touched since then. There is really nothing worth merging here; most of the "Mathematics and architecture" article already concerns the use of geometry in architecture, so if you want just to redirect it without attempting a merge, that'd be fine.

Woolly phrasing like "strongly challenges contemporary practice, the so-called architectural practice of the digital age" has no place in any Wikipedia article, and I see it's cited to a whole book without page number: indeed, none of the three references goes so far as to identify a page of anything. There may be something worth saying in the list of papers in the Scholar link above, but the current "Architectural geometry" text is basically worthless.
