Architectural geometry

Imagine you are playing with blocks. You can stack them up to make a tower, or put them together to make a house. Architectural geometry is like playing with blocks, but with numbers and shapes on paper instead of actual blocks.

Architects use numbers and shapes to make sure their buildings are the right size and shape. They use things like lines, angles, and measurements to make sure everything fits together just right. It's kind of like putting a puzzle together.

Think about a puzzle that has a picture of a house on it. The pieces all have to fit together perfectly to make the picture. Architects use measurements and shapes to make sure the pieces of a building fit together perfectly too.

So, when we talk about architectural geometry, we are talking about how architects use math and shapes to design buildings and make sure everything fits together perfectly.
