Architecture Class: Sunset House

The task given to our class today was the creation of a house that had a beautiful sunset when you were in the house. I really enjoyed this assignment because before even drafting my building I sat for a while, just contemplating what I needed and didn't need to include in the building. I was forced to think in many different ways, which I appreciate because I usually don't think in that manner. I needed to think about windows, the view, the environment, sunlights, natural light, etc. It wasn't easy coming up with the idea in that 30 minute time period, but I was able to crank out an acceptable structure that met the standards I set. This wasn't my best work, but I really liked the exercise since I had to truly force my mind to think about architecture and think in manners that I usually don't focus on.

  2. i like how you used the sun so people can get and idea of how the sun looks when people build a house and it has a window for example the sun would be a nice view.
