7th Grade learns about architecture

Last week the 7th grade Foundations of Technology class began working on how to create basic floor plans. These floor plans are similar to something you would find in a floor plan book. They are called artists renditions. Students have learned about symbols used in architecture as well as how to scale a floor plan from an example taken off of Google images. They are currently scaling the floor plan to 1/4″ = 1′. Next we will be examining appropriate size restrictions for various rooms.  We might even add landscape architecture later on since many students have been asking about designing their yard.

Take a look at some examples below (Google images)

*This is the floor plan we are using right now:

Here is another one. What do you like about it? What would you change?
