## Description

Soaring spires, towering arches, fascinatingly complex curves and angles! Build your foundation in Architectural design with this fascinating STEM experiment kit that explores the engineering principles behind planning and developing buildings and structures. Through model building exercises you play the role of architect and engineer as you piece together an array of models, from small, basic structural elements like trusses, arches, and domes, to giant complex models of real-world buildings. With 20 guided model builds, you can construct stadiums, skyscrapers, a Ferris wheel, and more. By getting hands-on with these exercises, you'll develop an understanding of how architectural engineers apply scientific principles to their designs and how the buildings and structures of the 21st century push materials and engineering to the limits. The 44-page, full-color manual guides your journey while encouraging independent exploration. What is the tallest tower, The most voluminous dome, or the longest bridge you can build with the modular building pieces? How will you use what you learn to further your architectural journey?

Review: Great gift! - Grandson loved it!
Review: Great for nine year old grandchild - On visit by grandchild, this was first choice. Properly challenging; great opportunity for child and adult to work together and discuss what makes a building project strong. We looked at pictures of Roman arches, of the Eiffel tower, of ancient and new projects. Super project.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can he play with it without reading the booklet?**
A: Thank you for your question. With all of our engineering kits, we encourage our users to continue to build beyond the models in the manual. The experiment manual teaches the principles of Architectural Engineering that you can use to come up with your own designs.

**Q: Does each one have to be disassembled in order to build the next?**
A: Thank you for your question. While each model will have a few leftover pieces, you do have disassemble one model to build another.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for nine year old grandchild

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ enough for 1 structure only
*by T***. on June 19, 2025*

realised the parts are enough for only 1 structures, instead of the all 20 ....... would be nice to make it clear in the product description, and also list out the models that can be built
