Architecture is...

diverse. A certified architect is hired to design furniture, cars, phones, computer cases, window displays, cheese presentations, video games, hollywood sets, stage for theater and, of course, structures like homes and commercial buildings.

During these next 9 weeks, we will explore Architecture mainly from a residential standpoint and projects will grow from model houses to choices of projects to meet the course requirements.
