I enrolled in this course because I have always been interested in 3D printing and never got an opportunity to properly learn about it. I also have a small background of clay sculpting and I&#8217;ve definitely taken too many math classes so I feel this will be the perfect class for me to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this assignment the first thing that came to mind was the historic spiral staircase at the Loretta Chapel in Santa Fe. Ever since I got to see this staircase in person, I have wondered how they managed to design and build an advanced staircase with only the resources obtainable in the 1880&#8217;s. Completing such a staircase is impressive, but it is even more impressive to build these stairs without a center pole to support its weight and for it to have lasted this long only supporting its weight from the bottom. The identity of the builder is still not confirmed but it is believed to be Francois Jean who appeared with only a hammer and carpenter&#8217;s square, but some believe it to be St. Joseph. The staircase performs two complete 360 degree turns and continues to baffle scientist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is the link to the Lorette Chapel Website where they go into more depth about the staircase and the chapel as a whole. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lorettochapel.com\/\">Loretto Chapel Miraculous Staircase | Loretto Chapel<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone, my name is Patrick Fry and I am currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science with a minor in business.
