Essential Questions• Do you think that patterns and shapes found in the
natural world influence architects designs? How and why?
Try Math X
• What are examples of geometry that can be found in architecture? Focus on patterns, shapes, order, and structure.
• What is meant by the saying that geometry helps make sense of the world?

Shapes, Patterns, Order, Structure… Jeff Hawkins, in his book On Intelligence, writes, "Your brain receives patterns from the outside world, stores them as memories, and makes predictions by combining what it has seen before and what is happening now... Prediction is not just one of the things your brain does. It is the primary function of the neo-cortex, and the foundation of intelligence."

Extension Activities: Photograph and/or draw your own examples that support your
premise (Yes—geometry can be found in the natural world. No—geometry is not
found in the natural world.) Create a presentation supporting your theory.
What are examples of geometry appearing in the world that have
been produced by man (or woman)?
