description: This book contains 24 technical papers presented at the fourth edition of the Advances in Architectural Geometry conference AAG 2014 held in London England September 2014. It offers engineers mathematicians designers and contractors insight into the efficient design analysis and manufacture of complex shapes which will help open up new horizons for architecture. The book examines geometric aspects involved in architectural design ranging from initial conception to final fabrication. It focuses on four key applied geometry architecture computational design and also practice in the form of case studies. In addition the book also features algorithms proposed implementation experimental results and illustrations. Overall the book presents both theoretical and practical work linked to new geometrical developments in architecture. It gathers the diverse components of the contemporary architectural tendencies that push the building envelope towards free form in order to respond to multiple current design challenges. With its introduction of novel computational algorithms and tools this book will prove an ideal resource to both newcomers to the field as well as advanced practitioners.
