Our Future Homes (OFH)

For the past 10 weeks we have been participating in an Architecture in Education program with the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust.

Overview: This project integrates lessons on building function with learning about architecture and design. Classes will participate in an 8-10 week interdisciplinary project that focuses on literacy, geometry, social studies, and interpersonal skills. The goal is to enable the students to discuss architecural detail and design, to observe and evaluate their built enviroment, and to design and build models. Students will work individually to design a floorplan to scale and then build individual models.Here are some pictures of us hard working students working on our model homes.

                                          Here is another picture of Jose cutting quick,accurate, and neat.  And you can see Justin in the background working diligently as well.

                                           This is Antonio getting some glue for his home so it
                                            can stand up tall and proud!
 

Here is Kenyon with a big smile on his face excited to work on his home. Kenyon is one of the hardest workers on the model homes and is really committed to his job.
