Architecture

By Brian Hartman

The math studies to become an architect can include Geometry, Trig, Calculus, Engineering,

and Computer modeling.

Architects need to know how to use the English measurements and the Metric

system, so they can make blueprints.

Architects would also need to know the

quantity of windows to put in each room, and the square footage, so it wouldn’t be too hot

inside the room.

There is a lot of math involved with

architecture. For example,

Architects would need to know the

weight and dimensions of a

support beam, so it wouldn’t break

under heavy loads.

Architects are concerned about tall buildings in

heavy wind currents and earthquakes, so they

simulate the disaster on computer models to help

plan their design.

The Burj Khalifa(the world’s tallest building in Dubai) has windows that

are cleaned by 18 installed track

maintenance units. These units are also designed with math and physics

measures.
