Look at how designers have solved impossible problems of gravity and space with creations such as suspension bridges, the Loretto helix staircase, and Brunelleschi's dome. Explore how materials can be used in interesting ways--how paper can go from flimsy to structural, for instance. Participate in family game playing: client and design team--finding creative ways to meet a client's wish list. Use games to test strength, balance, and structure. Engage in pure imaginative archi-doodling. Explain the why. Why did styles evolve as they did? What technology was available when?
