Formgeometrie
Formgeometrie (form geometry) is the study of geometric forms and their properties under spatial transformations. It focuses on the characterization, classification, and analysis of shapes ranging from simple primitives to complex surfaces and solids, emphasizing invariants such as symmetry, curvature, and topology.
Scope and concepts include both discrete and continuous forms, and contexts such as Euclidean, projective, and
Relation to mathematics and related disciplines is broad. Formgeometrie overlaps with differential geometry, topology, algebraic geometry,
Applications span design, architecture, and engineering, where formgeometrie informs the creation and evaluation of shapes in
History and terminology note that the term is often used in German-language literature to describe the geometry
