A = L × W
P = 2(L + W)
V = L × W × H
FAR = Total Floor Area ÷ Site Area
Coverage = Building Footprint ÷ Site Area × 100%
Cost = Quantity × Unit Rate
Quantity = Measured Work × Applicable Unit
ρ = Mass ÷ Volume
P = Energy ÷ Time
Efficiency = Useful Output ÷ Input
Architecture connects with mathematics, technology, agriculture, statistics, engineering and the wider E-Learning Network.
