Grand Finale: Presenting Designs to the Architect

ACTIVITY: Students will get together with all of their completed work: drawings, computer renderings, and models. They will then switch them around in order to present each other’s designs. The goal here is to practice expressing vocabulary and concepts that have been learned during these classes. As a group, students will then decide what are the most important elements that the partnering architect should include in his/her competition design. The architect will be present for this group activity. And don’t forget to have fun!
