 * __Properties And Shape__**

__Geometric Shapes:__

__Types of polygon__
 * Polygon: is a closed figure made by joining line segments, where each line segment intersects exactly two others.
 * Regular Polygon: polygon whose sides are all the same lenght and whose angles are all the same.

__Geometric shapes in architecture__
 * Triangle: a three sided polygon. The sum of the angles of a triangle is 18'0 degrees
 * Queadrilateral: a four sided polygon. The sum of the angles of a quadrilateral is 360 degrees
 * Circle: is the collection of points in a place that are all the same distance form a fixed point called center
 * Convex: a figure is convex if every line segment drawn between any two points inside the figure lies entirely inside the figure. A figure that is not convex is called a concave figure.

Used to create order. Using a grid the composition may end up being the structural basis. Spaces between columns, using sides like walls.

Geometric Shapes in Urban Planning

In Urban planning geometric shapes are used to design the main spaces and structures of a city, to trace the direction of avenues and streets and to create the master plan of a city or region.
