Google Earth Voyager Story: Triangular Structures

In this Google Earth story, we explore triangles by looking at different architectural sites where triangles are a prominent feature. In particular we look at these structures:

  • The Bank of China in Hong Kong
  • The Eiffel Tower.
  • The Luxor Hotel
  • The Louvre
  • The Salvador Dali Museum

Each building is an application of the geometric principles behind triangles.
