Symmetry As Geometry: Kuwait International Airport |
|
| Authors: | Kristoffer Josefsson |
| Abstract: | Computer-aided design (CAD) software has often been associated with the limitations of Euclidean geometry. Kristoffer Josefsson , a mathematician and specialist geometer employed in the Specialist Modelling Group (SMG) at Foster + Partners, explains how the symmetry-encoded representation undertaken for Kuwait International Airport enabled the group to extend CAD tools for non-Euclidean use. |
