Triangles are the strongest basic shape for building structures because the center of gravity is lower, the angles cannot change, and load is transferred smoothly. Common structures like bridges and buildings are built using triangular components like diagonal braces and trusses to reinforce them against forces and make them more stable. Examples provided include the great pyramids, bridges, and buildings that demonstrate real-world applications of triangular reinforcement in construction.

Johnson wax headquaters, architectural presentation
Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Johnson Wax Headquarters in Racine, Wisconsin in 1936 for client Herbert Fisk Johnson, Jr. Wright wanted an open, stimulating work environment with no sense of enclosure. The building features a half-acre open workroom with mushroom-like dendriform columns, circular elevators, and 43 miles of Pyrex glass tubes that allow light in without transparency. It was praised for its innovations and helped transform Johnson Wax's international reputation. The adjacent 1950 Research Tower has 14 floors supported by a central core. Both buildings are recognized for their architectural significance.

The wall is a vertical plane that defines an enclosure and takes structural load. It has evolved over time from thick load-bearing walls to thinner non-load bearing walls. Key developments include the introduction of arches, which allowed for larger openings, and modern frame structures, which relieved walls of structural responsibilities. Walls have served purposes of support, defense, and separation of spaces through history. Their shapes can be straight, curved, or leaning, and materials have developed from living rock to masonry to modern reinforced concrete.

Indo saracenic architecture
When the British first made inroads into India, little impact had been, was, or even intended on being made. Structures were mainly reflective of their functions, simple warehouses and a number of rather temporary administration facilities with residences remaining few in number, these kept to the traditional and vernacular. However, as British interests in India expanded, more permanent structures were required to facilitate the infrastructure of the new British Raj- symbols of their new status as the power seat; a sense of permanence and prominence.
Islamic architecture final
Islamic architecture developed after the rise of Islam in the 7th century and includes both secular and religious structures. Some key features of Islamic architecture include minarets, domes and cupolas, arches, courtyards, and the mihrab niche indicating the direction of Mecca.

It provides details on the key components of arches like voussoirs, keystone, intrados, etc. It describes various arch forms including flat arch, corbelled arch, triangular arch, semicircular arch, bullseye arch, Islamic arch, segmental arch, and pointed Gothic arch. It also explains dome structures and provides examples of different dome styles such as onion domes, geodesic domes, corbel domes, parabolic domes, saucer domes, and umbrella domes. The document aims to educate about the forms and building of common arch and dome structures.
Egyptian architecture
Egyptian architecture featured massive stone structures for temples and tombs, while domestic buildings used mud brick. Pyramids evolved from mastabas and step pyramids as ways to provide passage to the afterlife. The Great Pyramids of Giza, among the largest constructions ever built, housed tombs for pharaohs. Later pharaohs were buried in the Valley of the Kings, with hidden entrances and richly decorated tombs. Temples followed a structured layout and used light and shadow symbolically through clerestory windows and column placement.
Heights & distances

Geometry of Islamic Architecture
The document discusses the importance of geometry in Islamic architecture. Some key points:
- Geometry is one of the most important elements of Islamic art, with patterns constructed from basic shapes like circles, squares, stars and polygons.
- Repeating geometric patterns symbolize Allah's infinite nature and help demonstrate that the infinite can be found in small details.
- Basic geometric constructions can be used to create complex patterns using a straightedge and compass. Constructions of points like three, four, five and six are described.
- Examples like the Taj Mahal and Tomb of I'timad-ud-Daulah showcase the use of symmetry, right angles and geometric patterns in Islamic architectural design.
Temple of sun modhera
The Sun Temple at Modhera was built in 1026-27 AD under the Solanki dynasty. It is dedicated to the sun god Surya and was designed so that sunlight would illuminate the deity's image at the equinoxes. The temple complex includes a large sacred pool and the main temple, divided into a pillared hall and inner sanctuary. Though now in ruins, the temple was renowned for its intricate carvings covering every surface both inside and out.
Shore temple
The Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram datable to the late 7th century is notable for its location on the seashore. It is a five-storey structural Hindu temple, the earliest important structural temple in Southern India, built on a 50 foot square platform with a pyramidal structure rising 60 feet high. Though similar in style to the Dharmaraja Ratha, it differs in being a fully structural temple rather than rock-cut, about 3-4 times the size of the Dharmaraja Ratha with a triple structure adding rear and front shrines.
Fatehpur sikri
Fatehpur Sikri was founded in 1569 by Mughal Emperor Akbar as the capital of the Mughal Empire, located in Uttar Pradesh, India. It is surrounded by a 5 mile wall and includes several important architectural structures from the Mughal era, including the Buland Darwaza gate, Jama Masjid mosque, Tomb of Salim Chishti, Diwan-i-Aam and Diwan-i-Khas halls of audience, Ibadat Khana house of worship, Anup Talao pool, and Panch Mahal and Mariam-uz-Zamani palaces. The red sandstone buildings feature a blend of Hindu, J
ARCHES IN ROMAN ARCHITECTURE
The document discusses Roman architecture and their use of arches. It explains that the Romans built aqueducts to transport water into cities using arches as the supportive structure. The water was carried through the aqueducts in rectangular channels lined with concrete and the arches helped support the weight of the running water. The document also describes how arches are constructed using keystones at the top supported by semi-circular voussoirs and reinforced by buttresses.
Structures inspired by concrete
The document provides descriptions of 31 architectural projects from around the world that feature the use of concrete in innovative ways. Many of the projects play with the plasticity and sculptural qualities of poured and cast concrete to create dramatic curved and angled forms, while others employ concrete's durability to blend structures into their natural landscapes. A few highlights include Zaha Hadid's dynamic Vitra Fire Station, Oscar Niemeyer's parabolic columns at the Cathedral of Brasilia, and Louis Kahn's monumental Salk Institute perched above the Pacific Ocean.
Triangles
Triangles are three-sided polygons that come in three types based on their side lengths: equilateral triangles have all three sides the same length, isosceles triangles have two sides the same length, and scalene triangles have all three sides of different lengths. The area of any triangle can be calculated using Hero's Formula, which uses the triangle's side lengths and semi-perimeter. While Pascal's Triangle is named after Blaise Pascal, he did not invent the triangle - other mathematicians studied and used triangular patterns before him.

The Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, located next to the Qutub Minar in Delhi, was built between 1192-1196 AD by Qutub-ud-din Aibak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty. Many of the pillars in the mosque have clear Hindu motifs and are believed to have been taken from 27 temples demolished to build the mosque. Over time, the mosque was expanded and renovated by several subsequent rulers, blending Hindu and Islamic architectural styles. It was the first mosque built in India and is an important example of the early medieval Indo-Islamic architecture.
Dravidian Architecture
The first phase of Pallavan architecture from 610-690 AD saw the development of rock-cut cave temples known as mandapas at Mahabalipuram. These included early experiments with pillared halls and structural prototypes like the Rathas that served as models for later temples. Key features included the beginnings of the Dravidian column with elements like the lion capital, and the use of reliefs to combine sculpture with architecture. This phase established foundations for the evolution of the temple architecture in the Dravidian style.
Strong shapes ppt stud. version
The document discusses exploring shapes and their strength. Students will make shapes out of paper strips and test their strength. A square is shown to not hold its shape when pressure is applied, but becomes stronger when a longer strip is added to connect opposite corners, forming a rectangle. Students then build and test cubes out of straws, making predictions about how many pennies they can support before collapsing and ways to strengthen the cube.

Building strong shapes with triangles
Triangles are the strongest basic shape for building structures because the center of gravity is lower, the angles cannot change, and load is transferred smoothly. Common structures like bridges and buildings utilize triangular components to reinforce their designs, from the pyramids of Egypt to modern buildings that draw inspiration from origami. Everyday objects also incorporate triangular elements that contribute to their durability.
Tetrahedral mesh generation - robustness test
Tetrahedral mesh generation can be used as a dynamic volume representation that can fully capture the complexity of a geological model and be adapted locally or globally to problems. It allows fine-grained control of mesh anisotropy and heterogeneity. An unstructured mesh generation robustness test was performed on input data containing 532 random fractures and 3 faults, with random angles and intersections and no preprocessing, resulting in a mesh of around 300k high-quality elements representing all fractures as triangular facets integrated into the final mesh.
