Architecture and our Weather

Architecture and our Weather – Shayla Howell Instructor – Students will design an architectural structure to withstand extreme weather elements and learn about different styles of architecture from a variety of regions and famous architects from around the world. We will cover major weather conditions such as tornados, heavy rain or flooding, earthquakes, and extreme cold and heavy snow then design and create an architectural design plan to withstand the extreme weather conditions in a specific region. Creations will include blueprint and architectural plan drawing, and development of a prototype or model sculpture of their building to be tested in a simulated experiment for their region’s extreme weather.
