Analytical Design in Architecture: New Developments

This letter from the guest editors introduces Vol. 26(1) of the Nexus Network Journal: Architecture and Mathematics. This special issue, with the theme ‘Analytical Design in Architecture: New Developments’, presents a convergence of historical and contemporary computational methodologies in architecture. The eleven contributions to this issue harness the power of diverse forms of analytical knowledge to create new, intuitive planning platforms and offer designers constructive feedback on novel design methodologies. The topics presented in this issue range from pragmatic design algorithms to the intuitive understanding of traditional architecture, and from the abstract space to experience-oriented education.
