How are the buildings that we live in made? How are huge structures level? The participants join us on a guided online exhibition tour and look at the tools used by architects and engineers in the past. Then, we look at the aerial balances on display, which are known to be used by Mimar Sinan in the construction of the Kırkçeşme Waterway and used in the mines in Europe until the 19th century, and design our own balances with various materials such as chenille, rope and wire. In this workshop, we learn about different measuring equipment that have been used in Anatolia so far, improve our fine motor skills and fuel our imagination.
