WHY ONLY TRIANGLES? A key concept in architecture is the use of triangles. Triangles are known as the sturdiest figure in the architecture world. Architects commonly use these shapes to construct their buildings. The inequalities help prove that the shape is actually valid and can be build without causing problems. 3’s are also seen in natural forms . From cracks in the earth to the veg on your plate, the strength and beauty of the number 3 is all around us. The number 3 is often seen as embodying the concept of strength both in philosophical and in the physical. There is the concept of a trinity; He who holds the trident has the most power; The tricycle never falls over; The three legged stool is the simplest furniture.

2.TRIANGLES IN PLANTS Triangles are the most common geometric patterns formed by many plants. There are many plants and flowers that display triform leaf pattern
TRIANGLES IN MOUNTAINS Mountains are also formed due to plate tectonics ( crashing of earth plates against each other) and bundle up in the shape of a triangle. While these forces are in play, the same principles of friction and gravity still hold true, resulting in the familiar triangle shape
