DESCRIPTION		with doing. It incorporates issues of technology, the environment, working
			with people and meeting their needs, and the art of three-dimensional 					design. This course will introduce students to these and other important 				issues in architecture through lectures, discussions, sketching, direct 					involvement in design projects and hands-on construction.
					
LEARNING 		You will become familiar with the various aspects of architecture.
OBJECTIVE	 	You will be able to apply these concepts in your own designs.
			You will actual be able to build your design in full scale.

ACTIVITIES		Lectures, discussions, drawing, reading, writing, calculations, photography,
			video,  design projects, hands-on construction experience, and research. 
			CAD (computer aided design), world wide web

PHOTO JOURNAL	Submit a minimum of 30 slides (in 8 1/2" x 11" transparent slide pockets 
			20 per sheet)  which summarize architecture and construction. 
			The slides may include: raw materials, formulas, terms, details, various 				finishes and treatments, completed projects, historical events/structures, 				structural components and systems, failure of structures, aging of structures, 				environmental impact, proper/improper, title slides, summary	slides, group 				project, self portray of author, etc.
			Number the slides and place them in sequence to best tell your story.					A picture is worth a thousand words, and the slides should be self 					explanatory, however you are allowed to submit the slides in a binder
			with an contents sheet, which identifies the slide and gives a one
			sentence to one paragraph explanation:
