My project was particularly important to me for a few reasons. First, I went through some of the basic rounds of architecture. Starting with an idea and restrictions I was able to work through some of the design processes an architect goes through. I had to learn to work with multiple programs that function to create different designs of the same thing. Importance also came with simply observing my mentor and his employees. I was able to see how necessary collaboration is in this business. He has two employees who help with drafting designs while he takes care of all the business side and main designs that they produce. One design goes through many rounds of revision and critique. My own project went through at least ten in the short time I was given. It has to be perfect to the most minute detail, everything has to be thought about over and over again.
When I started my project, I had not used any of the programs that I now know how to use. Once I learned the basics, I was able to start and create some basic walls. It quickly developed into the first-floor plan. The floor plan is where Jason, my mentor, was able to make many of the changes. Then, once I got passed that I had to work on elevations, roof plans, and section cuts. Each of these is supposed to give every description a contractor needs to build the house you are designing. Below are the photos of my final product!
