The Advances in Architectural Geometry (AAG) conferences are a unique forum where developments in the design, analysis and fabrication of building geometry are presented. With participation of academics and professionals, each conference aims to gather and present practical work and theoretical research that responds to contemporary design challenges and expands the opportunities for architectural forms. The seventh edition of the AAG conferences was hosted by Ecole des Ponts ParisTech and Université Gustave Eiffel, Champs-surMarne, France in April 2021. This book contains the proceedings from the AAG2020 conference and offers detailed insight into current and novel geometrical developments in architecture. The 27 diverse peer-reviewed papers, which were divided into long and short presentations, present recent innovations in the field of mathematics, computer graphics, software design, structural engineering, and the design and construction of architecture.
