To use these invariants for the classification of topological spaces up to homeomorphism one needs invariance of the characteristics regarding homeomorphism. A famous approach to the question was at the beginning of the 20th century the attempt to show that any two triangulations of the same topological space admit a common subdivision.

In a network of fourteen cities a total of 53 triangulation measurements were made. In his calculations Snellius made use of a solution for what is now called the Snellius–Pothenot problem. Snellius' Triangulation (1615) By necessity Snellius's high points were nearly all church spires. There were hardly any other tall buildings at that time ...
Illustration from an edition of 1726 Gemma Frisius's 1533 proposal to use triangulation for mapmaking Nineteenth-century triangulation network for the triangulation of Rhineland-Hesse. Triangulation today is used for many purposes, including surveying, navigation, metrology, astrometry, binocular vision, model rocketry and gun direction of weapons.
Buildings can appear to be twisted by design, where the twisting (torsion, helix, etc.) is structural rather than merely an ornamental detail.The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat defines a twisting building as one that progressively rotates its floor plates or its façade as it gains height. [1]
Post-and-lintel construction is one of four ancient structural methods of building, the others being the corbel, arch-and-vault, and truss. [ 1 ] A noteworthy example of a trabeated system is in Volubilis , from the Roman era, where one side of the Decumanus Maximus is lined with trabeated elements, while the opposite side of the roadway is ...
Robert Maillart, c. 1925. Robert Maillart (16 February 1872 – 5 April 1940) was a Swiss civil engineer who revolutionized the use of structural reinforced concrete with such designs as the three-hinged arch and the deck-stiffened arch for bridges, and the beamless floor slab and mushroom ceiling for industrial buildings.
Triangulation today is used for many purposes, including surveying, navigation, metrology, astrometry, binocular vision, model rocketry and, in the military, the gun direction, the trajectory and distribution of fire power of weapons. The use of triangles to estimate distances dates to antiquity.
