Massive
The first man-made structures were carved from rock or were built by stacking rocks other materials. This left little space between them, like in the Mayan or egyptian pyramids.Short stone or wooden lintels were also used to make windows and open spaces, for example, in Greek temples
Empire State Building
An iconic part of New York City’s skyline since 1931 and standing 1,200 feet high, this Art Deco building and award-winning U.S. landmark allows travelers to take in sensational views of Manhattan from its observation areas on the 86th and 102nd floors, day or night. “We had VIP tickets pre-booked and skipped all the lines, well worth the extra cost. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Great views of New York, really enjoyed our visit,” said one TripAdvisor reviewer.
Mount Rushmore, South Dakota
At Mount Rushmore National Memorial, faces of 4 former US presidents stand carved into the side of the massive granite mountain at nearly 20 meters high. Go see Presidents Licoln, Washington, Roosevelt and Jefferson for yourself and claim a photo with one of the most iconic landmarks in the United States. Also in the area is Crazy Horse Memorial, another historical monument, this one paying tribute to the Native American leader and Lakota Warrior, Crazy Horse.
Vaulted
With arches and vaults, builders could cover langer spaces and have bigger gaps in the structures.Vaulted structures are formed by arches and vaults using stones that are cut in such a way that the only stress they support is compression - no problem for hard stone. The romans used round arches to build bridges and they used barrel vaults and domes to cove basilicas and pantheons. Later, pointed arches and ribbed vaults were used in mosques and cathedrals. We still use them today.
Route . 66, Oklahoma
Route 66, U.S. 66, also known as The Main Street of America, The Mother Road and the Will Rogers Highway, is part of the United States Federal Highway Network. One of the original federal routes, the U.S. 66, was established on November 11, 1926, although it was not marked until the following year.
Triangular structures
These structures are made from bars, normally metal or wooden. The use of triangular shapes means they are not easily deformed. This makes them ideal for building bridges (triangular beams), covered with large trusses and vertical structures, like towers and scaffolds.
Suspended structures
This type of structure uses cables, called suspenders which the structure hangs from. When they can be adjusted, they are called tension members.The cables only bear traction stress, but the advantage is that they can adapt their shape to different loads at different times and they are incredibly light. Cables are used to fasten bridges, marquees', antennas and towers. There are many kinds of suspended structures which can cover large spaces like stadiums and pavilions, without the need for columns or pillars.
Space Needle, Seattle, Washington
The Space Needle is an observation tower in Seattle, Washington, United States. Considered to be an icon of the city, it has been designated a Seattle landmark. Located in the Lower Queen Anne neighborhood, it was built in the Seattle Center for the 1962 World's Fair, which drew over 2.3 million visitors.
Monument Valley
Travel the 27-kilometer loop to get the best view of the area, which you may recognize from the many Western movies that have been filmed there over the years. Monument Valley is located on the Arizona-Utah border, though it falls within the territory of the Navajo Nation, the largest Native American Indian reservation in the United States. While in the area, be sure to visit the Navajo Nation to take a deep dive into the area’s culture and history.
Statue of Liberty, New York City
Start downtown New York City for a trip to the Statue of Liberty, the colossal sculpture welcoming immigrants and visitors alike to Manhattan’s shores. The iconic statue stands 93 meters tall and is just as breathtaking as it seems. After you see it, swing by Wall Street in Downtown Manhattan for a photo with the Charging Bull statue, (and its companion, the Fearless Girl, nearby.) Heading uptown, you’ll find the classic Flatiron Building, before making your way into the bright buzz of Times Square.
Reinforced concrete structures
Concrete led to major advances18 in construction because it could be made into any shape. Concrete resists compression and with steel rebar 9 frameworks it can also bear traction.It is a very strong material which is used in all types of building, mostly in framework structures like your school.
Niagara Falls
Composed of three waterfalls, these natural wonders are well known for their pristine beauty and as a valuable source of hydroelectric power. See the Niagara Falls along with the surrounding area on the Niagara Scenic Trolley, then visit the Seneca Niagara Casino, a gambling destination opened by the area’s Seneca Indian Tribe. While you’re there, take a cruise on the Eerie Canal, or take a self-guided tour to see the historic architecture, such as the Railway Station or the Ellis-Taylor House, a beautiful 19th-century home built by the local Ellis family.
National Mall
The National Mall or National Mall is a long expanse of grass with several iconic monuments, such as those dedicated to Presidents Lincoln and Washington. The domed United States Capitol is on the eastern edge and the White House is on the north. The Smithsonian museums flank the sides.

Hollywood Sign
Hollywood Sign is the name given to the famous gigantic sign located on a hill known as Mount Lee, which is part of Griffith Park, in the Hollywood Hills district, in Los Angeles, California.

Laminated structures
These are formed by laminates of metal, plastic or composite material like reinforced concrete. Their curved shape and folds give them their strength.• The curved shape makes the laminates bear the stress of traction and compression on their surface. I The folds and ribs? give rigidity in exact points. So, for example, the rim on a plastic cup prevents the cup from deforming when we drink and the grooves on the side make it stronger when we hold it.
Gateway Arch, St. Louis, Missouri
There's hardly a more recognizable landmark in the Midwest than St. Louis's towering Gateway Arch, a 630-foot-tall monument to Thomas Jefferson and his ideas for America's westward expansion. It's the tallest monument in the United States and the tallest arch in the world
Cloud Gate, Chicago, Illinois
Cloud Gate is a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor, that is the centerpiece of AT&T Plaza at Millennium Park in the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois. The sculpture and AT&T Plaza are located on top of Park Grill, between the Chase Promenade and McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink. Constructed between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed "The Bean" because of its shape, a name Kapoor initially disliked, but later grew fond of. Kapoor himself even uses this title when referring to his work.
