Introduction
Geometry plays a vital role in architectural design. It helps architects visualize,
plan, and structure buildings, ensuring both functionality and beauty. From
ancient monuments to modern skyscrapers, geometry ensures stability and
aesthetics.
Objective
This project aims to explore how geometry is applied in architectural design. It
investigates the use of different geometric shapes, patterns, and principles in
famous buildings and how these contribute to structure and aesthetics.
Mathematical Concepts
Types of Geometry:
• Euclidean Geometry
• Coordinate Geometry
• Symmetry and Transformations
Important Terms:
• Angles, Triangles, Circles
• Congruence and Similarity
• Area and Volume
Formulas Used:
• Area of triangle: ½ × base × height
• Volume of a prism: Base Area × Height
• Pythagoras theorem: a² + b² = c²
Use of AI Tools
AI Tools Used:
• ChatGPT: Used for understanding how geometry is integrated into famous
architectural landmarks.
• GeoGebra: Used to construct geometric diagrams and explore 3D models of
structures.
• Desmos: Used to visualize symmetry and transformation in building designs.
• MS Excel: Used for tabulating measurements and calculating area/volume.
Tasks Done Using AI:
• Explored geometric concepts in real-world buildings
• Generated data on dimensions and ratios
• Created architectural diagrams (floor plan, dome structure)
• Summarized findings with clarity
Real-Life Application
• Taj Mahal: Symmetrical design using reflective geometry.
• Eiffel Tower: Triangular structures provide strength.
• The Pentagon: Regular polygon-based design ensures uniformity.
• Pyramids of Egypt: Use of equilateral triangles for structural integrity.
Calculations, Graphs & Diagrams
Sample Calculation:
Volume of Dome (approx. hemisphere):
V = 2/3 π r³
Let radius r = 7m:
V = (2/3) π × 343 ≈ 718.4 m³
Graphs/Visuals:
• Floor plan of a geometric building
• Diagram of a symmetrical facade
• 3D shape model using GeoGebra
Conclusion
Through this project, I learned how geometric concepts are applied in real-world
architectural designs. Geometry not only enhances the strength of structures but
also adds to their visual appeal and usability.
