Grading Required
In teams, students turn their selected building concepts into fast 2D net sketches and simple 3D paper or grid prototypes for at least three city buildings such as a hospital, school, and police station. They complete a structured test sheet with dimensions, base area, surface area, volume, and one density or space-use measure for each building, then compare results to the building purpose and design constraints introduced by the architect. Midway through, each student gives feedback to 2 peers using a checklist focused on fit-for-purpose, calculation accuracy, and realistic size, receives feedback, and revises at least two entries on the poster draft or calculation notes before a final team design check.
