Questions for Discussion: Triangles and Arches in Architecture
Why are triangles and arches strong? How do they go together? Why would you use them when designing a building? Where are the triangles and arches in each of these images? How do the triangles and arches work in each case? Where are the pushes and pulls (compression and tension) in each of these structures? When do multiple arches or triangles need to be used in the design of something?
