Making Their Mark – Learn about a well-known architect, and visit one of her (or his) projects. Find out why this person is known for her (or his) work.
Down to Scale – An architectural plan is a drawing of your project that uses a scale measurement, such as 1 inch = a foot, to represent the actual size of the object on paper. Make your own plan of a room to scale, using graph paper.
Nature’s Design – Design a garden. Include artwork, plantings, structures, walkways, and other things you could use to make it a special place. Sketch a plan, or do a scale model.
Architecture Around the World – Create a way to show the architecture of different countries. What makes the architecture distinct? How have climate, culture, natural resources, or lifestyle shaped the architecture? What do the homes and buildings tell you about the people who live there? |
From Airport to Zoos – Brainstorm a list of buildings or combination of buildings you would love to design, if you were an architect. Decide who will use them, what activities will happen in them, and how people with disabilities will use them. |
