A visit from an architect.

Over the past few weeks we have been fortunate to have architect Bob Earl visit the neighbourhood to help us think about the important role architecture plays in how people interact with their spaces.  In addition to explaining the design process, his visits have been inspiring us to explore ways of incorporating the architectural principles of aesthetics (materials, texture, light, space) and utility (purpose, user experience) into our plans for a PHPS museum.  Through this we have been able to generate new ideas while considering what elements we wish to include in our designs.  Throughout this process we have been developing mathematical understandings about measurement and scale as well as learning how we can best communicate our ideas effectively through drawings.
