Examples including the addition of the pyramid at the entry of the Louvre, the sinking of the Titanic, and the design of skyscrapers such as the Citigroup building in New York provide real world applications of the geometric concepts of area and volume. We see how the architects built the pyramid, how the density of the Titanic became too great for the ship to continue to float as it took on water, and how heat loss in large buildings are pushing the movement of "green" architecture forward.
