Abstract

This paper describes the mathematical discovery of a new property of conics which allows the development of numerous geometric projects for use in architectural and engineering applications. Illustrated is an architectural application in the form of an alternative project for Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Cathedral featuring the integration of a circular base and a cross in the top plane. Two alternative designs are presented for the cathedral, based on the choice of either the Latin Immisa or Greek cross.
