Architecture

Dream House Project
Students first explored Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater" house in western Pennslyvania. They then learned about the traits of more than ten architectural styles dating back hundreds of years to the present. Next, they sketched their dream houses on paper before creating more formal elevation and aerial drawings. Finally, they created their dream house in Tinkercad! Students were also encouraged to consider and include sustainable elements to create a home that is energy efficient, reduces their carbon footprint, and has the ability to live "off-the-grid."
