    1. The type of structural system that can best take advantage of this doubly curved geometry is the shell structure—a thin, plate structure, usually of reinforced concrete, which is shaped to transmit applied forces by compressive, tensile, and shear stresses acting in the plane of the curved surface.

      is there any advantages or disadvantages to using this structural system?

    2. equilibrium.

      What does this word mean?

    3. he most significant are the primary shapes: the circle, the triangle, and the square.

      why are they significant?

    4. A changing perspective or angle of view presents different shapes or aspects of a form to our eyes

      how can architects use this to their advantage?

    5. Texture also determines the degree to which the surfaces of a form reflect or absorb incident light.

      are there any way that texture could be an affect of context or specific design requirements?

    1. the basic elements of form and space

      what is considered the basic elements?

    2. hey may also reflect in varying degrees the social, political, and economic climate.

      How can these majorly effect the way an architecture is built?
