Properties and Shapes Sphere It’s a perfectly round geometrical object in a three dimensional space. It has many benefits, some of them are : Provides It provides a structure which eliminates tensile stresses in spanning an  open space. - All the forces are resolved into compressive stresses.

Pyramid Is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. Its very useful because It can be accomplished much tallness in the building without a complex structure Cone It’s a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat, usually circular base to a point called the apex or vertex. One of it benefits is less weight over the rest of the structure.

Parallelepiped Three-dimensional figure formed by six parallelograms. This shape is used for beams Cube It’s a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex One of it Benefits is that we have a great comprehension of this form.

Cylinder The surface formed by the points at a fixed distance from a given straigth line, the axis of the cylinder. The cylinder offers lots of benefits, some of them are: -In columns: circular base permit a better performance and resistance. - It allows a better flow all over the space. - In buildings: it allows nice panoramic views that cover all exterior scenery.
