Google Earth Voyager Story: Polygon Architecture, Part 1

Topic

Geometric Models

Description

This lesson explores the use of polygons in architectural design, as viewed through Google Earth. Polygons, with their varied shapes and sizes, offer unique possibilities in construction and design. Students can examine how architects use polygons to create visually striking and structurally sound buildings. Google Earth provides a platform to view these architectural marvels globally, offering insights into the application of geometric concepts in real-world scenarios. This exploration helps students appreciate the versatility and utility of polygons in architecture.
