A look at science and architecture at the same time.
A book optimized for convergence science education!

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution revolutionizes our lives, science education has become a more important topic than any other field of education.
This book explains scientific discourse, which can be easily thought of as being full of rigid and difficult theories and figures, through the art of architecture.
Difficult scientific concepts such as gravity, acceleration, and stress are transformed into something that can be easily and enjoyably experienced and applied through various objects and structures such as tripods, beams, dams, roofs, and suspension bridges.


The reason science is important is because it exists and operates in so many things that make up our everyday world.
"The Story of Building Structure (Funly Explained with Scientific Principles)" explains the science we encounter around us in an easy and fun way.
By examining the solid, tangible structure of architecture, readers can experience and understand everything from simple scientific principles to complex phenomena.
The book "The Story of Building Structure (Fun Solved with Scientific Principles)" is optimized for today's science education, which aims to foster the ability to discover and solve problems using real-life examples.

It was solved as a friendly conversation between a mentor and a mentee.
An easy and relatable way to tell a story!

This book is written in the form of a conversation between a mentor and a mentee student.
Sometimes, students answer the mentor's questions, and sometimes, the mentor answers the student's questions with easy-to-understand examples.
Sometimes readers empathize with the honest reactions of students faced with difficult principles and laws, and sometimes they share the joy of students realizing the clarity of principles that seemed difficult.
The dialogue method, which originated from the midwifery of Socrates, a giant of Greek philosophy, also helps you discover and understand a wealth of knowledge and information in this book.


The conversation between the mentor and the student in 『(The Story of the Structure of Buildings Explained in a Fun Way Using Scientific Principles)』 is a smooth read that allows the reader to enjoy the book.
In this process, readers become students, learning scientific principles together, finding answers, and gaining new perspectives on the structure of buildings.
We also realize how much science has permeated our lives.
In addition, illustrations in caricature format will help you understand scientific principles that may be unfamiliar and difficult.

See famous buildings from around the world in detail.

World-class architecture that you can approach with ease!

『(The Story of Building Structure Explained in a Fun Way with Scientific Principles)』 contains detailed illustrations of 59 famous buildings, including the Eiffel Tower, a magnificent symbol of Paris, France; the Golden Gate Bridge, which spans the San Francisco Strait; and the Sagrada Familia Cathedral in Spain, which has been under construction since 1882.
After gaining a basic understanding of scientific principles and architectural structures, readers will explore detailed illustrations of famous, real-world buildings where these principles are applied in every detail.
The timeless, meticulous detailing conveys the classic charm of the world's leading buildings.

Through this world architectural journey through pictures, readers will encounter a variety of buildings, from famous buildings seen on TV and in other media to outstanding yet lesser-known, artistic buildings.
How about experiencing this valuable opportunity to not only learn scientific principles but also enhance your artistic sensibility and culture?

This is a general education book that anyone can read together.

Everyone from teenagers to adults can enjoy it together!

The scientific principles and architectural stories contained in the book are linked to physics topics such as force, energy, and motion, which are consistently included in science textbooks for middle and high schools, as well as Western architectural styles such as arches and towers, which are included in social studies textbooks, making it highly valuable as a textbook reference for middle and high school students.
However, because the level is by no means low, it is also suitable for adults to read as a general education book.
This characteristic can be confirmed by the fact that the speakers are both adults and students, and that the principles and their applications are dealt with together.


"The Story of Building Structure (Funly Explained with Scientific Principles)" is a book that can be enjoyed by everyone from teenagers to adults, and parents with middle and high school children will be able to have a meaningful time reading and discussing the book with their children.
What if I shared with my children the buildings I've encountered through travel, reading, and other experiences, along with the scientific principles behind them, and encouraged them to explore real-world buildings?
