Proposed merge of Architectural geometry into Mathematics and architecture

neologism? fgnievinski (talk) 03:23, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge. 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, so the term is well-established. The stub was created in 2008 by a near-SPA and has barely been touched since then. At this end, most of the "Mathematics and architecture" article already concerns the use of geometry in architecture. 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 is surely much worth saying in the list of papers in the Scholar link above, but the current "Architectural geometry" text is basically worthless. The list of "External links" on the other hand is useful and well-organised, demonstrating by the way that the topic is certainly notable. What should now happen is for these links to be worked into the text to create an informative article. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:55, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, with no merge given the uncontested objection and no support. Klbrain (talk) 14:38, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

as with other arts

Mathematics and architecture are related, since, as with other arts, architects use mathematics for several reasons.

I'll bite: how do architects use mathematics with other arts? —Tamfang (talk) 16:50, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
