What's in a Shape?
(images to
print - see below)
The use and
understanding of shapes and volumes, their elements and how these relate
to each other is the foundation of much of what goes on in the building
industry.

It takes both intellectual
understanding and manual skills to realize these images from blueprint to
actuality. It takes years of training to know how to do the math and lay
out the work and set the machinery to construct these forms. As with all
human skills from language to physical abilities these are best formed
from early childhood. Toys for toddlers which emphasize shapes and their
manipulation, including toys like puzzles, are useful in developing these
abilities.
