multivariable calculus and architecture
$begingroup$
It's often said that architecture involves a lot of multivariable calculus, and for my (high school) Multivariable calculus project, I wanted to do further research on that. However, so far I haven't been able to exactly determine what specific maths architects use and how they use it. For instance, I heard quite often that architects use integral calculus, but how exactly do they use it? Does anyone know a lot about these or can someone recommend me any books/articles that go pretty in-depth relating to this subject? Any help would really be appreciated!

You might research Kresge Auditorium at MIT. There's a reason rain on the roof runs to the three corners.
