Abstract
Our mathematical theory of architecture is a means of describing the entire complex structure of a building (from the large-scale massing volumes down to the heating and ventilation systems) by a single symmetry group. This single group is required for all planning with respect to the building, because, by our theory of recoverability, plans come from the symmetries of a structure.
