Thinglink

Hello!
Today we will show you our use of Thinklink, that is a platform where we upload images of buildings and information about the relation that images have with architecture and geometry. Until the moment, we have chosen two pictures, which links will be posted in this publication:

Lotus Temple: http://www.thinglink.com/scene/522792759661166592 
(This one is our profile photograph)

Smartamp workspace

Hello again!

We have come with the diary. The last day we worked on the project in the school we created our personal account in the program Smartamp, where each member of the group has got a private one.

Firstly, we had to share one for all the group, but now, from wherever, we can all be conected on the Internet and making better our workspace, by adding information, pasting images... The creaters of Smartamp let us to have more accounts because we are giving a good use to it and we are also improving it before it goes out to the market.

As the final activity, we had to upload a photo to our personal information in gmail.com.

Today, we are sharing a photo of our workspace in Smartamp:

Giving a try to Smartamp

Last Wednesday, 23th of April, we chose the image that would represent our group, the one that was posted in the first publication of our website, Archimetry. As another task of the work, we tried the test program, "Smartamp", which is our online workspace and one of the main objectives of this project as it is going to be used by the future generations in their classrooms. What we have done, apart from creating this website, was uploaded images to Smartamp application and we also broadcasted our website link.

Another image of interest is the Great Pyramid of Giza. It is a historical construction that shows the conexion between geometry and architecture, as it has a geometric concept called "golden ratio" or "Phi". This concept is expressed by the number 1,618 and it is used in the figures that are believed to be more pleasing aesthetically.

Welcome to Archimetry!

Hello everybody and welcome to our new and first blog. We have been asked to create this website as a task of a school work. We are taking part in the last cycle of iTEC, which is a project to introduce all the students in the idea of designing the future classroom.

Well, the geometry and the architecture maintain a relationship called symbiosis, which means that one can not live without the other. The geometry has been used in architecture since the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. The geometry for the Greeks was an expression of the numeric values according to the proportion. This made them to emphasize the symmetry in their constructions. This philosophy influenced the romans, who broadcasted their architectonic methods to the occidental European culture.

The Ehime museum of science in Niihama and designed by the architect Kurokawa, is a monument to the architecture combined with the geometry:
