Architecture Presentation

B Day students are doing a year-long unit where they will design a new school.  They have already figured out their mission statements, debated school uniforms, and set their daily schedules.  Now they are ready to design the blueprint of their school.  To help them, Michelle Chavey from Hollis and Miller Architects presented.  She discussed what it takes to be an architect and the process they use to design schools.   She ended her presentation with pictures of unique schools from around the world to get the students' creative juices flowing.   After her presentation, the students worked with their partners to record any ideas they had gained from the presentation.  Over the next few weeks, the students will design their school floor plans while keeping the mission of their school in mind.
