This week we launched a new class about Architecture as Art. It includes a lot of reading, writing, research, and building. It also includes making floor plans, looking at blueprints, and making some drawings of our ideas.
We will build our project using a CAD (Computer Aided Design) program used by some architects to create three-dimensional buildings. It is called "Minecraft."
Yes, it is the same Minecraft many computer gamers enjoy! But, we are using it as a tool for learning about architecture and design.
Here is some of what we are going to be learning about. Click on the picture and you can see our Webmix of topics so far.
