Abstract

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most remarkable architectural structures from medieval Europe. It is located in Italy. Famous for its unintended lean, it leans for about a 10-degree angle and continuously leaning at a rate of 1 or 2 millimeters per year. This study aims to reveal the architectural structure behind the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the form of miniature to allow other people to see the bell tower even in just a small scale. The research method of design utilized in this study is Quantitative analysis. The participants of the study sampled 6 (six) engineers/architects and 16 (sixteen) 4th year engineering students to assess the significant differences in the level of acceptability of the miniature in terms of construction materials, procedural methodology, floor plan, and presentation using the t-test. The summary of the assessment of the two groups of respondents in the Leaning Tower of Pisa obtained the composite mean 3.65 as Highly Acceptable from the 4th year Engineering Students and 3.94 as Highly Acceptable from the Engineers/Architects in terms of the variables mentioned above. There is no significant difference in the assessment of the miniature by the two groups of respondents. The floor plan suited the miniature with accurate scaling of measurement. The results can be forwarded to improve the project such as to use a thinner type of board for the small scale, to use Auto CAD for the floor plan, to use spray paint to bring forth its finest details and lastly, to put people and trees for the development of the project.
