Greek & roman Architecture: Architects Challenge!
Objective: We are living in Roman times. You are an architect, desperate for work. Mrs. Burwell and Mr. Huckle are two wealthy patrons looking for a new dwelling. You will be competing against 9 other architects to win the privilege of designing our home! Criteria: • You will be presenting your future patrons with architectural designs- both interior and exterior. • You should provide some sort of measurement scale- ex. 1 inch =1 foot. • You will want to keep in mind what sort of materials you are going to use and what colors you will use. • You will need to use accurate architectural details from the time period. • You will want to design the house for our needs. Mrs. Burwell is a historian who likes to read, I am an artist. You may choose to interview us about our likes and dislikes to aid in your designs. • Remember, these are Roman times! Your designs should reflect this! Time Frame: We will spend part of one class period for the introduction of this project, then you will have 2 class days to do internet or book research. You will then have 5-6 class periods to work on your plans. There will be two class periods of presentations on 2/17 & 2/18. Mrs. Burwell and Mr. Huckle will decide which set of plans are the best, and award the winner a prize.
