I absolutely believe my Senior Project has helped me answer my essential question. Throughout this project, I have mainly attempted to understand what I can learn about a design/architecture education that will guide my future studies. Relating to what I wrote about last week, I believe that time management, along with patience and precision, are the main skills I have learned thus far. I was not quite sure what I expected to learn going into my project, but I believe this has been a wonderful and important takeaway.

I do not believe I have met many challenges besides issues of time management, which I feel that I have overcome at this point in time. This might change as the projects get more complicated and as I have to work a bit more creatively in the designs I make. I expect to be challenged on Friday as I begin translating my maquette into a 3D model on SketchUp.

I do not have many questions besides a curiosity about whether digital drafting, which I have found enjoyable so far, will become tedious and unfulfilling as my projects become more complicated. The more I have done research on architecture programs, the more I have learned that especially within the last few decades, it has become increasingly important to be able to work on projects digitally–something I have not been able to do much. I believe my SketchUp project this Friday will help to further answer my essential question. I feel that an architecture education would be perfect for me at the moment, but I look forward to seeing if that will change!
