project a.

=== While working on my first project for CAD Architect I learned many new skills and ideas. During the first project I learned many new things like how to create exterior, interior and invisible walls by selecting different tools in the Wall specification box. Also during the first project I learned how to put electrical and plumbing fixtures in my house. Another skill I learned was how to change the texture of my floors and also walls to be just the way I wanted them. The last important skill I learned during the first project was how to place furniture in just the right spots to make more room in my house. === === Having these new skills will help me in the real world when it comes to putting in electrical and plumbing in my house. Knowing how to find just the right spot to put my appliances will help make it easier in the real world. Also having the skills to remodel my room will help when it comes to decorating different rooms. === === While designing my kitchen I had many different problems. One problem that accrued was while trying to put in soffits at the top of my cabinets. I solved this problem by instead of making tons of small soffits I just took one and stretched it out till it filled the entire spot. === === While finishing the first project I would consider myself to be a very successful designer. When working in my rooms I took my time to make sure every little thing was right wether it came to measurements or to matching colors. These skills can and will help me in the future when I go to redecorate my room and maybe even when I design my house. Reading throughout the book I started to realize how boring the rooms were so I went in and investigated different tools and objects. I customized my house by changing the design of my cabinets and also changing the color of the appliances. I also changed my kitchen by adding dark wood and a different surface to my cupboards. With the few changes I made it made my kitchen original and unique then the rest. ===

project b.

===While working on my second project for CAD for Architect we have learned many different things. In this project we learned how to add a basement and porches. In the first project we focused on the inside basically the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, family room, and exct. But in the second project we focused more on the outside and basement. Some new skills I have encountered are how to make a basement foundation, add stairs and add soffits to support the porches. These new skills I have encountered can help me in the future if I ever decide to add a porch or basement to my house. These skills can also help me in the real world when it comes to expanding my house inside and out. === ===During the second project I overcame many new problems. The biggest problem I had to deal with was adding soffits underneath the porch. This problem took me awhile to figure out, I first started doing everyone at a time then I thought of just doing them all at once. When I finally did them all at once it made the process faster and more accurate. === ===<span style="color: #a110b7; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Project 2 brought out many new ideas which has made me a successful designer. While working on the project I was very successful when it came to adding the porches and following directions. I have found out the hard way that the directions might not be the right way always but it is always a good idea to over look them even though you believe you are doing your design the right way. Figuring out how to put soffits underneath the porch will help me in the future when I am either making another design or a real porch. === ===<span style="color: #a110b7; font-family: Georgia,serif;">At the end of the project I found my house real boring, so while playing around with the materials tool I found many new things like how to change the siding, the color of the wood and also the door pattern. I also add lights to the outside to make the house more original and more like me. ===

<span style="color: #e920d3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">**While working on the Third project for CAD for Architect we learned how to make shadows. Having shadows on our drawing it gave a better picture for real life. Putting the shadows on took barely anytime to do with help from the book. Reading through the book gave some confusion but with help from my teacher it was fixed in no time.**
 * <span style="color: #e920d3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">The techniques I have learned can help me in the future when I build other houses. It will also help me decide where is the best place to build/place my house. Running into a few problems here and there with turning on my shadows and where to place my north symbol was easily fixed by go back a few pages and re-reading. **
 * <span style="color: #e920d3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Working on the Third project I believe I was very successful with finding the right tools to use, like finding the shadowing tools. My creativity was showed by finding just the right view to show off my shadowing. **

<span style="color: #e920d3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;"> <span style="color: #e920d3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px;">project d === While finishing project D, it introduced us on how to make a Layout for Ferd’s Bungalow. Having finished my house and taking pictures we learned how to use a special tool to make an accurate layout. The book helped us make our layout organized and professional. The skills I have learned will help me in the future by making some kind of blueprint. These skills will also help me out with projects on how to create other houses. While working on this project I had one major problem, while trying to create the frames for my second picture, the tool box wouldn’t work. With help from my teacher we still couldn’t figure out what the problem was so we just skipped over it. I believe I was very successful with taking the right view of the houses to complete the first page. My creativity was shown by my personal logo, and by making the corners just right for my logo. === <span style="color: #e920d3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">project e

<span style="color: #e920d3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 150%;">For the very last project in CAD for Architect we worked mostly on Terrain contour. While working on the terrain it required us to build our own vacation house and playing around with the terrain. From previous drawings we learned how to make piers but learned a new trick that was simple and more productive. Using this tool, it made the house and terrain building faster and easier. Knowing these skills will help me in the long run when someday I make my own house. The skills will help me with figuring out the best terrain and decking. During the last project I over came some problems, while trying to change the terrain it caused my piers to disappear in thin air. With help from the teacher and book my problem was fixed in no time. The successful thing I did during the project was building a huge deck that surrounded my house. This helped show my creativity with the unique design.

<span style="color: #e920d3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 140%;">For the last CAD Architect assignment we learned how to make our own logo. During this assignment we focused on designing the shapes and patterns for the logo. Compared to the other assignments were we built and constructed our buildings we learned how to create the logos. Leaning how to make the logos were very helpful, having this skill will help during the CAD for Architect class will come in handy while making any type of logo or even layout. Making logos could come in handy during the real word because if I ever wanted to make my own business I would know how to make my own logo. <span style="color: #e920d3; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 140%;">During the last assignment I did come across some complications. While trying to construct my own, unique logo it became difficult messing around with different shapes. After playing around with the program for a little bit longer I figured out how to do exactly what I wanted. While finishing this project I thought I was very successful in trying different things and figuring out how to fix my own problems, this could help me in the future dealing with business adds, titles and even drawings. At the end the project was basically to show your creativity, I showed my creativity by choosing my favorite colors and just being me with the name and design

Water Efficincy In the green house project the first section was water efficiency. For this section I too many different way to improve water efficiency. In the first image I reduced the amount of water being used by using aerated sinks and a water efficient toilet. In the second image I used front loader washer and dryer.

Sustainable Sites For the third section we had to deal with sustainable sites. In this section I wanted to save energy in certain areas of my house. While building my house i made sure to place it in a urban area so the places I need to visit are close, walking distance. I also placed my home on an old foundation which helps save energy during construction.

Materials and Resources For the second section on my green house project I made my hose more energy efficient. I proceeded with this idea by using old flooring throughout my house. I also reused the cabinets in my kitchen which helped save money due to being reused wood and green certified wood.

Energy and Atmosphere For the fourth section we had to come up with a way to conserve energy. Some ways I showed this was adding more windows to my house, causing more artificial light during the day time. Another way I showed this was using solar panels in my house which run completely on green power.

Indoor Environmental Quality For the last section on the green house project we had to make sure our house was energy efficient on the outside and inside. The first way I showed this was by adding many thermostats in my rooms as shown in the picture above. The second thing I did was adding multiple light switches to one of my rooms to help control the different lights in one room. Another way I made my home energy efficient was by using VOC-free paint, which gives off no chemicals.

Final Project:




 * For the final project I chose to build a one story home due to many advantages. The house I designed seems small but has as much living space as a two story house but all on one floor. My on story house is also supported by a basement great for extra storing or more rooms. The reason why I chose a one story house was due to easy accessibility, easy maintenance and also due to the low cost in heating and cooling. **


 * The maintenance for my one story house is very easy, with a low roof and siding it makes cleaning easy and convenient. The down side to a one story house is that the square footage can be too expensive to shingle so with the help of recyclable shingles the one story house is more affordable. **


 * Making a one story house opens up a ride variety of people due to its easy accessibility. With minor adjustments to the front and back porch anyone can access the house even people with disabilities. Also the inside is very friendly for people with disabilities with no stairs in the living area. Also in a one story house heating and cooling are contained due to less square footage to cover keeping the house hot or cold when needed. The only downside to this would be large furnaces added tot he far corners of the house. Same with cooling, air conditioners should be added to keep the air circulating during the day and night . **
