My career

For this project we had to interview an architect or engineer, make a video promoting our chosen speciaialization of civil engingeering and answer the same questions that we asked the architect as if it was 10 years later. 

I interviewed Terry Helland sailingter@hotmail.com an architect at RSP architects http://www.rsparch.com/

In this project I learned that to be an architect you have to love the job not the money.  I liked that we got to interview a architect and get to know firsthand what it is to be an architect and what you need to become one.  I didn't like all of the confusing websites I had to use to find information.  The next time I will start earlier so that I don't have to do so much work in the last few days.

Neolithic Architecture

For this project I chose Neolithic architecture.  I spent the last few days designing and building a model of a Neolithic home.   
During this project I learned that the Neolithis style takes characteristics from many different styles.  I likes designing and building the house it was a ne experiance and it was fun.  I didnt like how the precision cutters became dull after a few days.  The next time I will use the box cutter for more of my cutting.
