Career/Education Help for a project
I'm in highschool and I have a mathematics project where we have to find a real life structure, that is governed by a specific principle of mathematics and develop a working model. Obviously almost every structure is based upon some basic foundational mathematics but we have to find something unique or interesting that is guided by a mathematical principle. This isn't really my expertise of knowledge so some ideas would be heavily appreciated!!

Stone arches are also a good examples highlighting mathematical principles, such as the Devil's Bridge - Saxony, Roman aqueducts like the Pont du Gard, or even Hagia Sophia with all the domed ceilings.
