Google Earth Voyager Story: Architectural Prisms, Part 2

Topic

Geometric Models

Description

This continuation of the lesson on architectural prisms explores more complex designs and their applications, as viewed through Google Earth. Students can investigate how prisms are used to create visually striking and structurally sound buildings. Google Earth enhances this learning experience by providing detailed satellite imagery, allowing students to analyze the geometric properties and significance of these structures. This approach helps students connect geometric theory with practical applications in architecture, reinforcing their understanding of geometric modeling.
