ARCHITECTURE, ART, HISTORY and GEOMETRY WORKSHOP.

Introduction.

    In this workshop we are going to build different domes with the same wooden profile following geometric patterns. 

    First we will practice with small profiles and at the end with large profiles like the one in the attached photograph.

Goals:

- To Know the principles of architecture.

- To Study how to distribute the weights in a dome

- To Make different architectural configurations.

Methodology:

    Initial activity:

    We start by making a circle with all the participants standing, we turn while making the circle smaller and smaller and everyone approaches. We put our hands on the shoulders of what is in front of us.

    Now, little by little, we can flex until we are completely seated on the knees of the partner behind us, while the partner in front is seated on our knees.

    If we do it carefully and in a coordinated way we will not fall and we will realize that we are reproducing the same principle as Leonardo's domes.

    Development activities:

    We will continue making several domes with a certain profile to learn about the different options and their geometry.
