The Role of Mathematics in Architecture: Insights from Brian Hartman

In the field of architecture, understanding mathematics is essential. Prospective architects study subjects like geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and engineering, as well as computer modeling. They must be adept at both English and Metric measurements for accurate blueprints. Architects also calculate quantities of materials like windows and assess structural integrity under various conditions, including wind and earthquakes. An example is the Burj Khalifa, which showcases complex engineering and design considerations that rely heavily on mathematical and physical principles.

  1. Architecture By Brian Hartman

  2. The math studies to become an architect can include Geometry, Trig, Calculus, Engineering, and Computer modeling.

  3. Architects need to know how to use the English measurements and the Metric system, so they can make blueprints.

  4. Architects would also need to know the quantity of windows to put in each room, and the square footage, so it wouldn’t be too hot inside the room.

  5. There is a lot of math involved with architecture. For example, Architects would need to know the weight and dimensions of a support beam, so it wouldn’t break under heavy loads.

  6. Architects are concerned about tall buildings in heavy wind currents and earthquakes, so they simulate the disaster on computer models to help plan their design.

  7. The BurjKhalifa(the world’s tallest building in Dubai) has windows that are cleaned by 18 installed track maintenance units. These units are also designed with math and physics measures.

  8. The BurjKhalifa vs. the Sears Tower Sears Tower(USA) BurjKhalifa(Dubai) Made of concrete 1st tallest building in the world Finished being built in 2010 2717 feet tall • Made of steel • 5th tallest building in the world • Finished being built in 1973 • 1707 feet tall
