Begin the discussion by responding to the following prompt:

In your post, discuss the following with your peers:

Identify the chosen building. Why do you think the architect chose a pyramid for the shape of the building?
How would you design this building as a prism? Justify.
How would the change in shape affect the construction of the building?
How would the change in shape affect the use of the building? Use the concept of volume in this post.
Then read two of your peers’ posts. Respond to two of your peers:

For each post, explain why the pyramid or prism is a better shape for the building.
How would you improve on the identified pyramid-shaped building?
How would you improve on the alternate prism-shaped building?

I think the architect chose a pyramid shape for the Louvre Museum because it looks really cool. If I had to design the building as a prism, I would make it like a rectangular box because it seems easier to build. Changing the shape might make it harder to build the Louvre Museum because it's so big. It might also make the inside space smaller because there would be less volume with a prism shape.
