Abstract
The work of Anna Bofill Levi, architect and composer, is an example of using mathematics to envision or conceive a project in both architecture and music. In this paper we focus on the architectural aspect and try to highlight the impact of mathematics on her work by analyzing several of her projects. The point of reference is the 1975 thesis on form generation written by Anna Bofill for the Universitat Politècnica de Barcelona. We conclude with excerpts from an interview with Anna Bofill herself.
