Modelmaking
Several mathematical methods will be required to produce a prototype of the treehouse plan I design.
Math
and
Architecture
Back to the Basics!
I will use basic math throughout my entire project such as multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.
Just plane Geometry ;)
- area of planes (hexagons, rectangles, squares, triangles...)
- area of solids ( pyramids, prisms ...)
Finalizing my IA
Triangles,
Triangles,Triangles
Ratios &
Proportions
the popularity of triangles in architecture and why?
- triangular strength
- triangle roofs
- wind resistance
- versatility of the shape
I will combine all of this knowledge to design the layout and exterior of a treehouse which I will then produce on a smaller scale.
necessary when it comes to designing my treehouse as well as making the model
... and More Triangles
Because triangles appear often in architecture, I will also be incorporating the Pythagorean Theory, similar triangles, angles and trigonometry.
