How Architects Use Geometry

The his website is about the relationship of geometry and architecture specifically measurements. In the 8th slide it talks about how architects use geometry by knowing the angles of the corners in order to build it. It also talks about how architects must use the Pythagorean theorem for measurements of buildings as well. These are some ways architects use Geometry according to this website though theirs a lot more.

Shapes in buildings (architecture and geometry)

In this cite it talks about how buildings are made of shapes and how geometry is the basic building blocks of architecture and nature. An example of this would be the pyramids in Egypt or something more modern like new World Trade Center tower.These buildings are all made appealing using different shapes. The shapes in all of these building are one of the ways geometry relates to architecture.
