Using Transformations as an Architect What was this project? This project was to design a luxury apartment with a group of 3-4 and take that one luxury apartment, and make 6-8 more of them, and dilate it by 2 for one top tier luxury apartment. What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I’m probably most proud of my original design, because it got chosen by all of my group members to be the design we move forward with. I really loved the idea, and it kind of showed how I would like my apartment to look in the future. Which 21st Century Skills do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? I believe this assignment targets communication skills because my group (Georgia, Sage, and I) were able to effectively communicate across all fields of technology- whether that meant zoom, text, in person, etc. We also presented our ideas to each other and fellow classmates to make our presentation the best it could be. How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skills with this assignment? In this assignment, I had to be able to communicate to get this project done. This project got me out of my comfort zone and helped me continuously communicate with others to build a good foundation for my project. What was most difficult about completing this task? We actually haven’t completed this project yet, so I wouldn’t completely know. However, what is proving difficult so far is that we all had to draw the exact same thing, which sounds easy enough, however we had to hammer out every detail. Along with that we all kind of got the measurements wrong while drawing, whether that meant our bedrooms were a foot more than each others, of the bathroom was a foot less. It was difficult to get us all on the same page. How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently? Again, I’m not done with this assignment yet, so I can’t necessarily reflect on what I could’ve done better. However while I’m completing this assignment, I’ll keep in mind putting me all into it, and making the final design look neat and nice. How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? We’ve “created houses” in the past for different math assignments, but for different reasons. This project was a great refresher in home modeling. How can you apply this to future learning? I can use this new knowledge to benefit myself in the future if I ever decide to become and architect or interior designer. Or I need a refresh on mathematic transformations.
