Google Earth Voyager Story: The Geometry of Sustainable Architecture, I
In this Google Earth Voyager Story learn about the geometric concepts that underly sustainable architecture. How do architects build tall skyscraper that can retain heat when its cold? In this exploration see how the ratio of the surface area of the building to its volume plays a key role in how architects design building.
