Kritik
"This book is a case-study ... displaying its strengths and weaknesses in testing hypotheses regarding the architecture of 85 homes from four continents designed by prominent architects between 1901 and the present day. ... Mathematicians will enjoy reading the results of the application of the box-counting method ... . the text is both well-written and remarkably error free ... . Thank you, authors and editors!" (Joel Haack, MAA Reviews, February, 2018)




"The authors give valuable critical thoughts about a few sensitive problems that researchers face when they use fractal dimension for analyzing images. ... 625 architectural plans and elevations (derived from the 85 buildings) are considered and interesting conclusions from the fractal and statistical analysis performed are brought to the reader's attention." (Elena Hadzieva, Mathematical Reviews, September, 2018)





"It is written by experts who have published a lot on this particular subject on the boundary of architecture and mathematics. ... this book is in the first place addressing architect students or researchers ... . All the elements of the research methodology, hence also the fractal dimension, are clearly and extensively explained and motivated. Also the analysis of the results and conclusions are carefully described. So it is easy to read and understand for anyone interested in the topic." (Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society, euro-math-soc.eu, December, 2016)mehr
