Abstract

The paper concerns some aspects of architecture: Architecture can act as a symbol for the transcendent, it can play with the regularizing urge and with infinity, it shows as giant sculptures, and it adepts and even stimulates new branches in mathematics. Examples will underline that it behaves somehow “as if” it were Art or Mathematics.
