Word of the day: Symmetry!
In our Arts and Crafts class we have been working on buildings that are symmetric, that is, that they look the same on both sides.
This photo of the Taj Mahal in India demonstrates the beautiful symmetry architects and engineers used to create an aesthetically pleasing building. (Taken from this blog).
But not only buildings can be symmetric. Watch the next videos and listen to the song to learn more about symmetry!
Not all the buildings are symmetric, though. In contemporary architecture, assymetry is considered beautiful too! Take a look at the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao by the architect Frank O'Gehry.
