Geometry in Architecture

Task

20111120122816upeje.jpg

The job is to create a customized travel guide.  Tourists visiting some of the big cities in the United States and other countries will be able to use the travel guide to identify and learn about some of the most famous buildings and their architecture. Your team will decide on 4 cities from the list below for your tourist to visit.  Cost is no object but learning about the architecture in each city is the focus of the travel.  The best part is: you get to decide where your tourist will travel and you�ll pick at least 2 buildings in each city that you want your tourist to visit.  The information about each city must include: 

  1. Historical facts including a picture of the building, its location, the year it was built, its architect, map, etc.

  2. Architectural style of the building and characteristics of this style of architecture (when complete there should be at least 6 styles of architecture represented in the buildings you've chosen),

  3. Geometric shapes (2-dimensional and/or 3 dimensional) that can be found in the building�s architecture, and geometric terms that can be used to describe the building.
