The surprising ways nature has influenced architecture. It may come as a surprise to learn that architects have found solutions to all kinds of design challenges in nature! Some have looked to nature to solve a structural problem, like creating an earthquake-proof bridge by mimicking the extremely long roots of a special type of grass. Others have turned to nature for artistic inspiration, designing buildings and bridges that evoke the movement of swimming fish or a bird in flight. When it comes to style and structure, nature and architecture make perfect partners! From cactuses to birdsê wings, termite towers to honeycombs, inspiration for ingenious design is everywhere around us!
The authors describes different kinds of bridges, their history, design, construction, and effects on populations, environmental dilemmas, safety, and more. Full-color illustrations.
Build a complete history of bridges, buildings, and major landmarks! Learn the history of famous buildings, bridges, and landmarks, and then build a three-dimensional model of each! There are 25 beautifully illustrated press-out models to build—everything from London's Tower Bridge to the Great Wall of China. Interesting facts and features are included about each structure and its place in history. Fun for the engineer in your life, or any world traveler!
If it’s arithmetic, geometry and basic engineering that your older kid wants to learn, then this is the quiz book to own.
