>Kim Williams, has asked that I extend an invitation to persons
>interested in mathematics and architecture to visit the Nexus Network
>Journal (NNJ): Architecture and Mathematics website
>http://www.nexusjournal.com.
>
>The purpose of the Nexus Network Journal (NNJ) is to make a significant
>contribution to scholarship about the relationships between architecture
>
>and mathematics through regular publication (4 times a year via Internet
>
>and 1 time a year via print) of research papers, book reviews,
>conference reports, articles concerning didactics, student projects, an
>annotated
>bibliography and a bulletin board about conferences, exhibits and other
>events related to architecture and mathematics. It also serves as a
>means of communication to allow an exchange of ideas and information
>between
>the biennial Nexus conferences on architecture and mathematics. The
>full text Internet version of the NNJ is available free; the annual
>print version
>is available for sale for
>The NNJ is aimed at professional researchers, teachers, architects,
>mathematicians and students. Material published in the NNJ addresses a
>range of issues related to architecture and mathematics: individual
>periods of architectural history (Roman, medieval, Renaissance, etc.);
>the work of individual architects (Frank Lloyd Wright, Buckminster
>Fuller,
>Villard de Honnecourt, etc.); the application of individual branches of
>mathematics to architecture (algebra, geometry, topology, etc.);
>theories of proportion (irrational, Fibonacci, harmonic, etc.); the
>influence of
>philosophy on architecture and mathematics (the ideas Plato, Nicholas of
>
>Cusa, Descartes, etc.)
