Square, Traingle, Column, and Circular Buildings.


SQUARE, TRIANGLE, COLUMN, AND CIRCULAR BUILDINGS.

TRIANGLE

This building also known as the Triangle Tower resembles the early pyramids because it is indeed a triangle. The way that this building is skinny at the top and wide at the bottom shows that it has some of the same characteristics as the pyramids back in those times.

This library known as the Stadtbibliothek Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany, is an example of a square building. All four sides of this building are equal and the diagonals of the square are perpendicular.

COLUMN

 This Museum, The Auckland War Muesum, was built in 1929 and is categorized as a column building because it has rows and columns just as the Greeks and Romans had on their buildings.

This health care building in Malmo, Sweden represents a circular building. A circular building built back in earlier times would have most likely been some kind of arena or venue, and this modern day building kind of favors that because it is constructed in a circular form with things going on in the center of it.
