You will have to measure the perimeter of the building or whatever your building. Math is oh so important because if you don't have the correct area, perimeter. height measurements whatever. Then the object being built could collapse, tip yeah or if the person you built it for finds out it was horribly built they could sue you and that's not good at all. So Yeah, It's all about the math.

Math applies to architecture in several different ways. Creative buildings like the Sydney Opera House in Australia use curves.

These must first be designed in a computer & described with equations.

Architects must work closely with civil engineers to ensure the buildings will not fall down. Engineers need a strong foundation in advanced math like Calculus and Differential Equations.

One architecture student I tutored even applied advanced high school or early high school level formulas to determine if the lighting in a room would be sufficient.
