Roman Arch

Interactive Roman Arch Model

Designed and built a 1:1 scale Roman arch as an interactive learning tool for children, enabling them to assemble and disassemble the structure to understand forces, balance, and geometry through hands-on engagement. Researched Roman construction principles to design cork pieces cut at precise angles, demonstrating the importance of geometry and sequencing. Used red pine, plywood, and cork for sustainability and safety, ensuring the structure was lightweight and child-friendly. The arch was designed tall enough for students to walk beneath, creating an immersive learning experience while reinforcing fundamental architectural and engineering concepts.
