Have you read about rohtak domes? Built by skilled craftsman without any steel or formwork. What I find fascinating is that these rohtak dome builders probably don't think in terms of math geometry, but yet they can still build such beautiful dome like roof structures. It's like they understand geometry but not in terms of math but more in terms of intuition and feel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7K99RUlfVk

Holding a string or rope taught is using a compass. That's math even if we aren't taught it as such. American geometry is the worst textbook on the shelf.
