Believe it or not, spherical geometry could imply to architecture as well. Some architects specialize in creating sphere structures like the one shown to the right. These architects have to know how to use spherical geometry when designing the building on a blueprint and adding windows and doors. All of the decorating aspects of architecture will take place on the surface of the sphere, which requires great skill and knowledge of architectural geometry. Proofs can be used in both spherical and euclidean architecture. When a building is a regular shape, such as a cube or rectangular prism, Euclidean geometry proofs are used. In contrast, spherical proofs can be used when building structures in the shape of a sphere.
