cashinapig Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 My main idea I'd like to roll with is arches. I can do a maths paper on the construction of arches - irrational numbers were considered god's number, therefore they were used in calculating. also the maths uses in creating the dome from the different types or physics- explaining the strengths of arches can only be done conceptually, it's the effect of gravity. also, the idea and how it works when the idea came about to build a double-bubble dome [two conjoined domes], from two domes that had to be free-standing in its parts as well as its whole. or history- following pointed dome through history and it's reason for introduction and usage in european architecure ANY comments are welcome. keep in mind- my physics teacher doesn't exist. we have a stand-in to tide us over in the hopes that we might find an actual physics teacher in time for our IB exams. so no REAL source to go to. However, there are other teachers at nearby schools that I can contact. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
