Page 6: What Is Architectural Engineering
What Is Architectural Engineering? Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and spaces that humans use. Engineering is the application of science and math to the design, creation, and use of just about anything humans make. Architectural engineering refers to the engineering aspects of architecture. An architectural engineer uses engineering principles to design buildings.
Page 7: Square And Cylinder
Square and Cylinder Model SQUARE Done! EXPERIMENT WHAT’S HAPPENING Stability of a square When you are pushing or pulling on the corner of the square, you are applying a force, or load, to the structure. A goal of architectural engineering is to achieve the stability of a HERE’S HOW structure under different loads.
Page 8 Square and Cylinder Model CYLINDER ×2 Done! BRACED CYLINDER ×4 ×2 EXPERIMENT Reinforced structures WHAT’S HAPPENING HERE’S HOW Build the When you added the braces, you made the cylinder much cylinder and more resistant to deformation. then the braced Even the flexible plastic rods cylinder.
Page 9: Rigid Polyhedron
Rigid Polyhedron Model FLEXED TRIANGLE Done! CONVEX POLYHEDRON ×4 Done! EXPERIMENT WHAT’S HAPPENING Rigid polyhedron A polyhedron is a three-dimensional shape with many sides. Here, you made a six-sided HERE’S HOW polyhedron out of the flexed triangles. Because it is made up of triangles, this Push inward on the model with your hands.
Page 10: Forces And Loads
Check It Out FORCES AND LOADS A force is an interaction between objects. You can think of a force as a push or pull on an object that changes the motion of that object. If the object resists that motion, the object might deform — part of the object might move relative to another part of the object rather than the entire object moving.
Page 11: Two Types Of Prism
Two Types of Prism Model 7-10 TRIANGLE Done! TRIANGULAR PRISM ×2 ×6 Done! EXPERIMENT WHAT’S HAPPENING Prisms You made two triangles into a prism. A prism is a 3D geometric figure whose two end faces are similar, equal, and parallel shapes, and whose sides are parallelograms HERE’S HOW —...
Page 12 Two Types of Prism Model 7-10 SQUARE Done! RECTANGULAR PRISM ×2 ×8 Done! EXPERIMENT WHAT’S HAPPENING More prisms There are no triangles in the square prism at all. Therefore, it can twist, bend, and deform more than the triangular prism. However, you can see that even the square prism HERE’S HOW is strong enough to stay standing on its own.
Page 13: Pentagons
Pentagons Model 11-12 FLAT PENTAGON ×5 Done! EXPERIMENT WHAT’S HAPPENING You made a flat pentagon. A pentagon is a shape Five lines in one plane with five sides. All five rods are in the same plane. In geometry, a plane is a flat, two-dimensional surface that extends infinitely far.

EXPERIMENT WHAT’S HAPPENING You made a dome using the flexible rods. Dome of pentagons The dome is supported by five arcs.
Page 15: Triangles And Arch
Triangles and Arch Model 13-15 FLAT TRIANGLE Done! BOWED TRIANGLE ×2 Done! SIMPLE ARCH Done! EXPERIMENT WHAT’S HAPPENING When you push down on the top of the arch, the sides of Forces in the arch the arch bow outward. Imagine you had forces pushing downward and inward along the entire length of the arch.
Page 16: Form And Function
Check It Out Form and Function Architects design buildings and spaces for people to use. From the simplest house to the most complex skyscraper, buildings must serve the needs of the people who inhabit them. In architecture, it is often said that “form follows function.”...
Page 17: Arche And Shell
Arche and Shell Model 16-18 INTERSECTING ARCHES Parts Needed Done! EXPERIMENT WHAT’S HAPPENING Arches and domes In this experiment, you can see how a dome is like a combination of multiple arches. You built a structure with two arches in different planes. The arches are called concave HERE’S HOW arches or reverse ogee arches based on their shape.
Page 18 Arche and Shell Model 16-18 SHELL Parts Needed WHAT’S HAPPENING Imagine a curved surface covering the outside of this model. In architecture, a shell is a structural element that is defined by its shape. It is a curved three-dimensional shape that is very thin in one dimension compared to the other two dimensions.
Page 19 Arche and Shell Model 16-18 ROMAN ARCH Parts Needed ×2 x 16 ×2 Done! EXPERIMENT WHAT’S HAPPENING Tension The five 5 hole rods splay outward. They get farther apart from one another. In this way, you can see how the outer surface of the arch HERE’S HOW is being pulled apart —...
