RELATIONSHIP OF COST TO THE GEOMETRY OF A BUILDING.

BULLOCK, THOMAS A.; ROWLETT, JOHN M.

A SIMPLE BUILDING WITH A MINIMUM NUMBER OF INSIDE AND OUTSIDE CORNERS GIVES THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF QUALITY TEACHING SPACE FOR EACH BUILDING DOLLAR. THIS CONCLUSION IS BASED ON ONE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM'S COMPARISON OF TWO SIMILAR SCHOOLS, ONE OF WHICH HAD A MORE COMPLEX PLAN. A COMPARISON OF COSTS, AREAS, PERIMETERS, VOLUMES, NUMBER OF CORNERS, AND NUMBER OF ROOFS IS GIVEN. (JT)
