This Build It: Stem Architecture For Kids eBook from 3D-LABS is written for engineers and students who want a clear, practical reference they can apply immediately.
Build It: STEM Architecture for Kids — Ages 10 to 14 teaches architectural engineering through structural systems, earthquake resistance, passive solar design, and famous Indian architectural engineering achievements with illustrated projects.
What architectural topics are covered?
Structural systems (post-and-beam, arch, Gol Gumbaz 44 m dome span 1656 AD), earthquake resistance (base isolation, shear walls, IS 1893 Indian seismic zones), passive solar design (south-facing windows, thermal mass, overhang angle for Indian latitudes), and green roofs for Indian cities.
What projects are included?
Earthquake-resistant tower from spaghetti and marshmallows (IS 1893 zone concept), geodesic dome from newspaper strips (Buckminster Fuller geometry), passive solar cardboard house (overhang = window height * tan(altitude angle)), and suspension bridge string model (catenary curve, tension vs compression).
What Indian architecture is featured?
Gol Gumbaz dome (44 m span, 1656 AD), Konark Sun Temple structural engineering, ISRO Satellite Assembly Facility clean room engineering, Mumbai Rajiv Gandhi Setu cable-stayed bridge, and Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium long-span steel roof (2010 Commonwealth Games).
