Project 1.1.4 Architectural Features
description: You have probably heard the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. If that is so, imagine what a model is worth. A picture may provide some information, but it is limited to angle, light, and detail. A model can provide much more information and can capture the imagination of those who view it. Designers often use models to demonstrate their ideas.
Conclusion
1. How did the time period from which your feature was most prevalent influence the feature?
In 1919 the Bauhaus school was established in Dessau, Germany. In the early 1920s, a similar group, de Stijl, took hold in Holland. Both stressed plain, rectilinear forms and an architectural preference for concrete and steel. Houses would become machines for living, much as automobiles were machines for transportation. The humble cottage -- the entire architectural field -- would be forever altered by Bauhaus concepts.
2. How did the feature you modeled meet a human need?
this house is a good house to live in but its not a lot of space
3. Describe the use of the principle of design best represented in the architecture of your model.
the house is design is a one level to a two level type of house with the garage under the second level or beside the house.
4. Explain how one of the other models in your class has similar characteristics? theres one style the has a feature just like my house which is it goes from a one level house to a two level house. the style is called saltbox.

Conclusion
1. How did the time period from which your feature was most prevalent influence the feature?
the time period had a big influence on my model and feature. To prevent this, special saltboxes were designed that were supposed to be hung by the hearth to keep the salt dried out. The lean-to on the house bore a substantial resemblance to the saltbox on the hearth, and thus the name for the style was born.
2. How did the feature you modeled meet a human need?
Salt was necessary for preserving food, and so it was a valuable commodity in colonial America. Salt was expensive, and it caked-up easily. To prevent this, special salt boxes were designed that were supposed to be hung by the hearth to keep the salt dried out. The lean-to on the house bore a substantial resemblance to the saltbox on the hearth, and thus the name for the style was born.
3. Describe the use of the principle of design best represented in the architecture of your model.
the principle of my design it to be unique and do it the opposite of how a actual saltbox house is made.
4. Explain how one of the other models in your class has similar characteristics? theres one style the has a feature just like my house which is it goes from a one level house to a two level house. the style is called split level.

Project 1.2.1 This is Your Career
Conclusion
1. You described a career related to civil engineering and/or architecture. Is this the career field that you are currently most interested in at this stage in your life?
No I really like computers but I don’t mind doing something in civil engineering but at this stage it’s not important.
2. Rank and describe the three most important characteristics that you value in choosing a post-secondary school.
The ranking is high and the secondary school I picked is a good school for engineering.
3. Rank the following in the order of importance to you regarding a career: job satisfaction; salary; making a difference; level of responsibility; titles; benefits; hours; co-workers; supervisors. How will a career in civil engineering or architecture satisfy the factor that you ranked highest?
Salary, making a difference, titles, benefits, job satisfaction, level of responsibility, co-workers, hours, supervisors. Architecture is more important cause without architects the civil engineers wouldn’t having anything to do.
