Aztec Temple

What type of temple did you choose?

‡ For the Temple project I picked to do the Aztec Temple.

Where is this type of temple usually found?

‡ According to experts, the Aztec Temples are usually found in Mexico.

What details in this temple make it distinguishable from the other types of temples?

‡ One thing which the Aztecs are well known for is their architecture. They are particularly known for their Aztec temples, which would have the shape of a pyramid. The thing which makes Aztec pyramids distinct from those found in Egypt is that Aztec pyramids almost always come with steps. With the Aztec pyramid, you can walk from the bottom to the top from the outside via the steps, where Egyptian pyramids require you to actually enter the structure from below. Architecturally, the Aztecs were highly advanced, and their temples rivaled those of Egypt, Greece, and Rome.

When building this temple as a 3D model, what primitive objects would you use to create this and what part would you start on first?

‡ When building this temple as a 3D model, I would focus the most on using primitive objects such as squares rectangles and other basic shapes. I would start this project by establishing a base.

What do you think would be the most difficult part in constructing this type of temple in 3D?

‡ I would say that the hardest part of building an Aztec temple would have to be the establishment at the very top, because its similar to a small room with pockets of ventilation.
