Google Earth Voyager Story: The Geometry of Sustainable Architecture, Part 2

Topic

Geometric Models

Description

This lesson focuses on the geometric aspects of sustainable architecture, as seen through Google Earth's lens. Sustainable architecture often employs geometric shapes that maximize energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact. Students can explore how architects use geometry to design buildings that are both functional and eco-friendly. Google Earth provides a platform to view these innovative designs globally, offering insights into the integration of geometry and sustainability. By studying these structures, students gain an appreciation for the role of geometry in creating sustainable solutions in architecture.
