Description
Hourglass Pyramids The design of this building is inspired the pyramids of egypt and the louvre pyramid in france. By creating two large building blocks in the shape of square based pyramid, they are held with opposing points touching eachother. The building is held up by large strong pillars and if the top pyramid weighs the same as the bottom an equilbrium of balance is achieved. Thus the two pyramids give the image of an "hourglass" shape. This was by far the quickest of the models to build at 1 hour 30 minutes because it was so damn small and had barely no details. Very easily the worst of my models.
The "Discord" is that it is conflicting to see two shapes such as these balance at two points when it seems impossible.
