Architecture research or term papers are most commonly written in APA and Harvard writing styles based on the requirements of word size.

Architecture and mathematics have been very closely utilized to achieve stable and functional structures. Mathematics has been extremely vital for the fundamental understanding of structural conceptions. In architecture, geometry is used as the guiding principal for attaining dimensions of a building. Accordingly, very complex calculations are employed to get the proportions of a building’s components stable and prevent it from potential collapses. New concepts of fractals which are a geometric pattern being repeated at every scale and incapable of being represented by classical geometry have been employed in the study of ancient and historical buildings that are visually satisfying of expectations (that is being cable of delivering a sagacity of scale at different distances).

Mathematics and architecture has been used together throughout history. For instance, the Indian set of rules of architecture (Vaastu shastra) utilizes mandalas which are mathematical drawings. Symmetry was the guiding principal of renaissance architecture. Another close relation of geometry and architecture is the Cartesian planning (the use of a grid plan for the planning of cities). Cartesian rectilinear geometry or Euclidean geometry was furthermore significantly employed in modern architecture at the beginning of the twentieth century. Deconstructivism is the most recent movement applying non-Euclidean geometry. Ancient architecture also employed proportions and planning principals that associated their architectural buildings to the movements of the sun or other heavenly bodies related to the cosmos.
