摘要:Last summer’s conference Bridges London and a number of previous visits gave me the opportunity to see the diverse architectural masterpieces in London, which is truly an architectural museum. The historical range is wide, from the eleventh century Tower of London to the contemporary Swiss Re Building. To the mathematician, or anyone attuned to order, there is a sense of geometry that is more pronounced there than in many other cities. This paper will offer examples and explore some historical reasons and supporting evidence for this over-riding order and geometric premise.
