The title of this issue of the Nexus Network Journal; "Architecture; Mathematics and Structure;" is deliberately ambiguous. At first glance; it might seem to indicate the relationship between what buildings look like and how they stand up. This is indeed one aspect of what we are concerned with here. But on a deeper level; the fundamental concept of structure is what connects architecture to mathematics. Both architecture and mathematics are highly structured formal systems expressed through a symbolic language. For architecture; the generating structure might be geometrical; musical; modular; or fractal. Once we understand the nature of the structure underlying the design; we are able to "read" the meaning inherent in the architectural forms. The papers in this issue all explore themes of structure in different ways.
