Macroscale Structures
Macroscale structures refer to large-scale, observable arrangements of materials or components that can be seen without specialized tools. These structures include buildings, bridges, aircraft, or natural formations like mountains. They are designed considering engineering principles and material properties to ensure stability, strength, and functionality. At this scale, the focus is on how the various parts fit together and work as a whole to serve a specific purpose, with attention to durability, safety, and efficiency. In essence, macroscale structures are the big, tangible frameworks that shape our built environment and natural landscapes.
