Architectural Characteristics of Different Configurations Based on New Geometric Determinations for the Conoid

Joseph Cabeza-Lainez

Summary: The aim of this article is to introduce a new architectural form and its application in architectural engineering. The surface area of this form cannot be determined using traditional methods, so the authors propose a new approach to approximate its surface area. Through this new method, the authors find an unexpected solution and introduce a new number. The article also discusses the use of regular conoids in architecture and the challenges associated with their construction.
