The document summarizes a French workshop held from May 18-22, 2015 on mathematics and architecture. Students took a cruise on the Seine river in Paris and were introduced to some of the main monuments through maps and coding. They then used geometric building blocks like cubes, cones, and cylinders to construct facades of landmarks such as Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Orsay Museum. At the end of the workshop, students evaluated their creations and could see the monuments they built represented on a map of Paris.
