Architecture: Gingerbread building and final reviews

The members of the LLC are in full gear as the end of the semester is approaching. There are finishing up some final projects and are getting ready to start studying for their exams. We have a fun event coming up. For the second year in a row the Architecture Sustainability LLC will be hosting the Gingerbread Building Competition. Residents will use a variety of snacks to construct any kind of building they would like. Then they will be presenting their masterpieces to a panel of esteemed judges. The judges will critique the work after it is presented to them and select the top three. The top three designs will receive architectural prizes. Last year this event had very high attendance and we are expecting high attendance this year as well.
In Emmy's section of the LLC, students are currently preparing for their final review. Their final project consists of creating an elderly community on a local Milwaukee site. Students are responsible for placing each component on the site as well as adjusting the topography to ensure that everything on their site complies with ADA standards. The students will present their work next Monday via technical plan and section drawings as well as diagrams and a verbal presentation. Overall, I am very impressed with how the students have progressed over the course of the semester and look forward to seeing their final projects.
In J.P.’s section of the LLC, students are completing their final projects which they have been working on over the course of the semester. Since their last review, the students have been coming up with ways they can take their current models and destroy them – but find a way to reconstruct them architecturally.
