Right edge
In today's parlance, a right edge is understood to be a cuboid, a cuboid body or a cuboid hollow body. In mathematical treatises, the terms square and legal Kant used interchangeably.
architecture
In recent architectural literature, a building that is characterized by its simple cubic basic shape and the lack of ornamentation and profiling is called a right-angled or rectangular building . This type of building has essentially been found in Europe since antiquity as well as in other cultures, but was mainly promoted by the Bauhaus , an architecture school of classical modernism . With the industrialization of the 19th and early 20th centuries , the population in cities rose rapidly. Housing was urgently needed, with the result that the tasks of architecture and town planning had to be finally shifted from the representative area to the area of the functional and social. The Bauhaus, which sought to influence all areas of social life and wanted to create a contemporary synthesis between art and technology, dedicated itself to this challenge. “The aim was to design the industrial product, and strict cubic forms replaced expressionism . With his strict objectivity, the cubic, clear, white surfaces, Gropius decisively determined the international style . The International Style was created before World War I and adopted first in Central Europe during the 1920s and a few years later in other European countries and America. "
A successful example of this architectural style comes from Le Corbusier with the design of the Villa Savoye, a white rectangular edge on stilts that lets in light, air and sunshine. In the period up to 1933, tens of thousands of affordable apartments were built in residential areas in Germany that made social contacts possible. Then the emigrating architects carried the Bauhaus idea to triumphant advance into the world. Violent criticism of this architectural style was only loud after the Second World War , when it dominated entire urban landscapes. Even Peter Hahn , director of the Bauhaus archive , speaks of “container architecture” and “urban desolation”. Kristiana Hartmann names catchphrases such as the "white rectangular" or the "white and glass boxes". One of the architectural answers is shaped by postmodernism with Heinrich Klotz's slogan : “Not just function, but also fiction”. Other architects still stick to the construction of "rectangular buildings".

manufacturing engineering
- In a rolling mill, a steel right edge, a so-called steel slab , is processed into heavy plate or thin plate in a multi-stage rolling process.
- Rectangular wire , also known as square wire , is produced through a sequence of solidification through drawing and softening through thermal activation. The technologies of wire rolling, sliding or pulling through and heat treatment must be carefully coordinated.
- Rectangular tubes, especially seamless tubes , are manufactured using a wide variety of processes. They serve as supporting and plug-in elements in structures (e.g. ventilation shafts) and machines.

Notes and sources
- ↑ Since there is no definition for this term in recognized lexicons and the DIN standards (May 2007), the intention of the expression can only be determined via the detour of the extension determination, which was carried out by evaluating the German-language Internet sources. An equation with a cuboid is z. B. not possible because of the term square tube . The patent application EP 1374737 A1 filed with the European Patent Office uses the terms rectangular and cuboid partly in competition and partly synonymously.
