 Follow this process,

1.     Find some Internet sites about architectural designs from around the world. Use the resources page to help you locate some information.

2.     Compile information on some designs used around the world and pick one or more to design your home around.

3.     Make sure to save your research materials for me to view.

4.     Research materials that can be used to build your home.

5.     Tell me what materials you are going to use, (what they are used for, what they cost, and why you are using them).  Keep in mind what the home will be used for, e.g. summer home, winter home, or permanent.   

6.     Create a schedule of materials with manufacturer, quantity, and price.

7.     Design your home using REVIT CAD.

8.     Turn in a design and schedule to me when you are finished.

9.     You will have a total of three weeks to complete the process.

 

·        A way to make this process progress would be to look at the environment in which you wish to build this structure in.  Is it rainy, does it snow, is it really hot (if so is it dry heat or humid), or is it really cold?

·        It is important to remember that an architect spends a lot of time doing materials research and design reform.  You must design your home for practicality and what it is going to be used for and for how much out of a given year it will be used.
