Interview Questions

This week we decided on a friend of Mrs. Gautieri´s to interview for our project on architecture. We have emailed her about our project and sent her these questions to answer:

What is your favorite thing about being an architecture student?

How do you start a career in architecture?

When building an actual structure where do you start? What do you use for inspiration?

Do you prefer sketch and drawing or hands on building?

What college are you going to for architecture?

Who or what inspired you to pursue this?

What would you recommend for first timers to build?

Materials:First Room

We recently received our confirmation email for the furniture we ordered for our rooms. Today, we searched for more materials and made a shopping list so we each can go out and buy the materials. Next week we are going to start building our first room for our model. We have also decided o who we may interview ofr our project.

Progress Report Week #6

This week I continued to look at things we could buy to make our room however I came into an obstacle. Most of all mini model objects are crazy expensive. For example we saw that most singular things like chairs or tables are around $15 a piece. After much research we finally found a doll set for $10 and It comes with mini lamps, a bed, a chair, and a table. I think that personally toy company's should make miniature model items cheaper since they are much smaller. Hopefully we will get our mini furniture set in soon so we can start actually building our room and then the full house.

This is a survey we would like you to take to decide which one of our rooms you like best! Which ever room turns out to have the most votes, will be the one we use as our small room model. The rooms will not be shown on the survey so check out our previous posts and decide which room you like best than!

Kids Bedroom- Elena

This is the room that I also made with FloorPlanner

This week we continued to use FloorPlanner. We have all decide that we should build a full set of rooms that will come together to make a house. Next week we will make a survey to see which room we will actually build. These models of the rooms are going to help us to make the build process easier. By starting out by building one room we will learn the techniques, easy and hard parts, and materials of building and building it correctly.

Office- Nicole

For this weeks genius hour time we continued to design the rooms for the model using the Floor Planner app. For this week I decided to design the office. While using this app I found difficulty in making the room proportional and adding the walls to the room. We also found that there is a way to add a new canvas to make new houses or floors. Using the app we discovered that you can add people to the rooms so I was able to put a person sitting at the desk in the office.
