Nexus 2025. Relations Between Architecture and Mathematics

Nexus 2025: Relationships Between Architecture and Mathematics, held in Vicenza, Italy (June 3–6, 2025), explored the profound interplay between architectural design and mathematical principles, particularly through the lens of Andrea Palladio’s work. The conference highlighted how mathematical concepts—such as symmetry, proportion, and geometric patterns—underpin the aesthetic and structural integrity of Palladian architecture. By analyzing historical villas in the Veneto region, researchers demonstrated that Palladio’s designs were not merely artistic but rooted in rigorous mathematical reasoning, influencing both form and function. This interdisciplinary approach offers new insights into the fusion of art and science in UNESCO-listed heritage sites.
