Like for a bridge you could use something that comes from the ground all the way up the the bottom of the bridge to make it more stable >]]> 2021-10-17 23:09:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822603279 525438 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822603345 I know …
Triangles are the strongest shape when structuring y the building 
I know concrete is one of the strongest materials and takes months to dry
I know the sky tower has a stick at the top or something that attracts lightning so the when there’s a storm the lightning goes to the stick not the building  ]]> 2021-10-17 23:10:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822603345 7041116 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822604693 I know that at the bottom of the tower there have to be a steady ground to balance and the metrical need to be strong to lift up the upper building or else it will collapse.]]> 2021-10-17 23:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822604693 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822604846 I know that one way is that earth has gravity which makes building’s stand and NOT fall over but a more reasonable way is that buildings is well balanced so that the building won’t tip or fall over. But what I think why building’s don’t tip over is that there could be a big giant platform under the ground supporting the building, for example let’s take sky tower, there could be a giant platform underneath that supports the weight out the tower. The strongest material that I can think of is steel, concrete and brick. You have to have aprovals when building a new building or skyscraper with permission. One other reason to mention is bridges, they are long and very big, they need to hold up at least around 200 cars at once which means that they have to be well balanced and that they have a nice strong structure otherwise the bridge would just all fall apart leaving the vehicles stranded in the ocean which I guess is not what we want…. One other example is the leaning tower of Pisa which we might’ve all learned today in reading, the tower is leaning so there must be some sort of structure that holds all this weight up, the answer to that is that the centre of gravity is kept within the base so that the leaning tower of Pisa does not fall.]]> 2021-10-17 23:12:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822604846 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822605902 2021-10-17 23:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822605902 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822607214 My knowledge about Different Design Principles is that tall buildings need a steady base, otherwise they would fall down and make great damage.]]> 2021-10-17 23:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822607214 665047 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822607739 I think the sky tower can be stable because it is made out of strong materials. I also know that buildings need to be well-balanced so it won’t tip over. They have to cope with gravity to make the building stand nice and strong. Also there could be a strong big platform at the bottom to hold it up so it won’t fall. Buildings also need other people to agree, for instance some places are called Apartment Zone. That means in that zone you could always add a layer and in some places like the Urban Zone. You might not be able to. But also how it is constructed. Like for instance a bridge. Bridges need two stable ends to make it suitable for 100 cars to fit, how wide and long is also something they need to think about. Thinking about the weather and the height is something you will need to do because if the weather there always has floods then you need to make a house that is able to cope with water… ]]> 2021-10-17 23:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822607739 574663 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822608243 I know that triangles are the strongest shape while designing the structure of a building. They also need to be upright, or it will just collapse. Im pretty sure they have to be straight (unless it is the leaning tower of pisa) since they will also collapse.]]> 2021-10-17 23:16:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822608243 rjacksonpotter https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822609738 I love reading what you have written so far.

They are, emphasis, balance and alignment, contrast, repetition, proportion, movement and white space. Skyscrapers won't fall because the concrete that's used to make these tall buildings is strengthened with steel rods and beams. This steel makes up the “skeleton” of the skyscraper.]]> 2021-10-17 23:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822610843 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822611289  Hattie - To make a building strong, different elements such as height, width and materials used should be balanced and in proportion to each other. Also the materials used will depend on how strong the building is. The footings must also be strong as that contributes to making the building strong. ]]> 2021-10-17 23:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822611289 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822611841 I know that homes and buildings need to have a base witch is under the floor ]]> 2021-10-17 23:21:09 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822611841 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822612204 I know that buildings stay standing by builders digging holes then putting foundation that is appropriate for the building above then they build the floors and the walls and a steady base.]]> 2021-10-17 23:21:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822612204 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822612465 I know that you need to have strong materials to keep the building up also a building needs a steady ground to sit on that keeps it from falling you also need to design buildings to be safe enough to stand up even on steep hills ]]> 2021-10-17 23:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822612465 6711610 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822613921 Tall buildings need to first be planned out very carefully to make sure nothing goes wrong. Also, they need to be bottom heavy, so they don’t fall over, sometimes, people even dig underground and attach a big weight to the bottom of the building to make it secure. If you are talking about a bridge, then you need to set out a plan too. And you need to have pillars at the bottom so it is secure.]]> 2021-10-17 23:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822613921 533361 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822617921 Firstly, you have to plan your building. You need to think carefully about what you are going to use to secure the building and think of the shape of your building so it can hold lots of things inside and it won’t topple over. You also need to check where you are going to build your building and see if it is a place where for example sun comes more for solar panels. The building has to cope with lightning, storms and it has to be waterproof otherwise when it rains, the rain will flood the building. You need a team to help you build the building, and you have to agree with your team to make the best building. It will probably take a long time to plan and build your building, but hard work pays off. ]]> 2021-10-17 23:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822617921 https://padlet.com/rjacksonpotter/hl7crte9qpyrmb5s/wish/1822620926 I know that the taller the building is, the deeper its foundation must be, the structure of the building can be built using a combination of wood and steel and brick.

1 when you build something you need to make sure it is very strong because if it is not very strong then it’s not safe for people or cars.
