ARCHITECTURE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD (grades K-12)Students will explore the history and social fabric of their neighborhood through the eyes of an architect. They will learn how to judge a building’s age based on its architectural style and features. Students will study the meaning of the built environment to those who live in it and either through model building or drawing, reproduce neighborhood features. Skills taught — dependent on age level of students and previous exposure to architecture — will include drawing to scale, scale model building, drawing buildings as pictures (rendering) and drawing buildings to scale (elevation).
