Sacred Geometry in Construction

six-around-one building example of sacred geometry

Several shapes that occur commonly in nature are referred to as "Sacred Geometry". Included are the "Six-Around-One", the Snowflake, and the Nautilus Shell Spiral. The Six-Around-One occurs in the beehive and flowers. Snowflakes, while all hexagonal, are endless in their diversity. The Nautilus Spiral Shell demonstrates principles used by artists throughout the world.

We are able to reproduce some of these shapes as attractive buildings using our triangles:

		This Snowflake floor-plan is one of many variations of hexagon clusters that create unique and attractive buildings. The version shown uses identical triangles to create its entire roof system.
		The six-around-one shown encloses approximately 6000 square feet, and uses only multiples of identical triangles to form its roof, which is shown at a 10/12 slope.
		This alternative version of the six-around-one encloses approximately 5600 square feet. Identical triangles make up the entire roof system, whose 4/12 pitch allows the lower roofs to stay below the second floor eaves.
