Mathematical vignette about Arts design and Architecture

Arts design

Mathematics has directly influenced art with conceptual tools such as linear perspective, the analysis of
symmetry, and mathematical objects such as polyhedra and the Möbius strip. In fact, many of the core
skills in art and math are closely related. Both disciplines require spatial reasoning skills and the ability to
recognize patterns. Artists andmathematicians use geometry in their work — including shapes,
symmetry, proportion, and measurement. Other relationships include the algorithmic analysis of
artworks by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, the finding that traditional batiks from different regions of
Java have distinct fractal dimensions, and stimuli to mathematics research, especially Filippo
Brunelleschi's theory of perspective, which eventually led to Girard Desargues's projective geometry. A
persistent view, based ultimately on the Pythagorean notion of harmony in music, holds that everything
was arranged by Number, that God is the geometer of the world, and that therefore the world's
geometry is sacred.

Architecture

Geometry, algebra,and trigonometry all play a crucial role in architectural design. Architects apply these
math forms to plan their blueprints or initial sketch designs. Since ancient times, architects have used
geometric principles to plan the shapes and spatial forms of buildings.Before construction workers can
build a habitable structure, an architect has to design it. Geometry, algebra, and trigonometry all play a
crucial role in architectural design. Architects apply these math forms to plan their blueprints or initial
sketch designs. They also calculate the probability of issues the construction team could run into as they
bring the design vision to life in three dimensions.Since ancient times, architects have used geometric
principles to plan the shapes and spatial forms of buildings. In 300 B.C., the Greek mathematician Euclid
defined a mathematical law of nature called the Golden Ratio. For more than two thousand years,
architects have used this formula to design proportions in buildings that look pleasing to the human eye
and feel balanced. It is also known as the Golden Constant because it manifests literally everywhere.
