Properties and Shapes
Our world is filled of many different forms. If we decide to count the different forms that exist in each corner for where
we walk, never we will finish to count because everything that
is around us is composed of forms.
Valparaiso, Chile
D.F, Mexico
Asturias, Spain
Properties and shapes
Squares, cubes and parallelepipeds
Circles, cylinders, spheres and arches
Triangles and pyramids
Properties and shapes
These are the most basic and employed shapes of construction.
Parallelepipeds
Square, cube and parallelepipeds
Beams and columns usually come in these shapes.
Materials such as bricks, concrete and wood can be shaped in these forms for construction.
Square, cube and parallelepipeds
Indoors, we can also find these figures in interior designs such as closets, doors, windows and shelves.
Squares and cubes can form the volume of spaces like parks.
Circles, cylinders, spheres and arches.
· Circles represent continuity.
· We can appreciate circles in cylindrical beams
and columns. On the other hand, we can also
find circles in tunnels entrances, and piazzas
with this shape. Arches can be found in
structural systems of trusses.
Circles, cylinders, spheres and arches.
· There is a famous arch construction, which is actually a porch: The Triumphal Arch.
· The semi-spheres create important structural systems such as paraboloids and domes.
· Dome is a representative structure that symbolizes religion.
· Circle is commonly found in staircases.
· Bridges forms are usually circles or spheres.
Triangles and pyramids.
Trusses
Metropolis museum, Amsterdam
Guggenheim museum, Bilbao, España
In our area there are countless homes,
museums, churches and infinities structures around us, without
realizing most of the things that make up
these large structures are of the basic
geometric shapes.
Conclusion
Gold, Marvin, and Carlberg, Robert E. Modern Applied Mathematics. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1971. Chapters 3 and 4 explore geometric concepts. Chapter 5 introduces the basic figures of plane geometry. Directions for constructing models of polyhedra are given. Chapter 4 extends the discussion of plane figures to cover formulas for perimeter and area.
Hersey, George L. Pythagorean Palaces Magic in the Italian Renaissance. Ithaca and London: Cornell University Press, 1976. The author examines the application of Pythagorean principles in Italian Renaissance domestic architecture. Chapter 4 traces the emergence of cubic principles in Renaissance architectural theory. Chapter 5 studies these principles in greater detail.
Kline, Morris. Mathematics A Cultural Approach. Reading, Massachusetts: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Incorporated, 1962. This book attempts to show what mathematics is, how mathematics has developed from man s efforts to understand nature, what the mathematical �approach to real problems can accomplish, and the extent to which mathematics has molded our civilization and our culture. Chapter 6 discusses the nature and uses of Euclldean geometry.
Norwich, John Julius, ed. Great Architecture of the World. New York: Random House, Incorporated, 1975. A beautifully illustrated volume that pictures and explains man s finest architectural �achievements.
