    Steven Flores reflects on a two-month architecture project where his class learned to draw blueprints and build a scale model of a courtyard. Over multiple sketches, they practiced using a ruler and T-square at 1/8 scale. For the model, Steven and his partner Noah used materials like foam board, Popsicle sticks, and green paper to construct symmetrical upper and lower levels that represented the courtyard design. While the project took a long time, Steven learned the importance of proper blueprinting and scaling, and could have used more realistic materials like green cotton balls for tree leaves.

    Courtyard Reflection
    For the last two months in this class we have done sketches and a scale
    model of the Courtyard of the White Plains High School. We learned how to
    properly use a ruler and a T-square. Then we drew multiple a couple of sketches of
    the courtyard which were a plant sketch, design, sketch, a courtyard sketch, and
    our original design. We drew sketches with the 1/8 scale of the ruler.
    Eventually when we were done we started to work on our scale model. We
    brought in our own materials to work on our project. We brought Popsicle, model
    grass, and model trees. We used the blueprints we made to help us build our upper
    and bottom half of the courtyard. Eventually Mr.Molefta let us work with a
    partner. So I worked with Noah Kramer. First we cut out symmetrical pieces of
    foam board for the upper and lower half of the courtyard. First we had to draw the
    design on the foam board. Once we were done with that we cut pieces of green
    paper to be like grass to fit in the parts were the grass is supposed to go. Once that
    was completed we had to make trees which took a long time since most of the
    material was gone. Then we had to make benches and picnic tables made out of
    Popsicle sticks. Eventually we had to use foam board for stairs and walls which
    was the last two weeks of the project. It took a long time due to finding the
    measurements of the areas that need foam board.
    I learned from this courtyard project how to use a ruler with all its
    measurements including the 1/8 and scales. We learned how to properly sketch
    scale sized blueprints by using rulers and T-squares. What I couldve done
    properly is to bring in materials that looked more material that looked more
    realistic then just the green paper for grass. Also, we shouldve brought in green
    cotton balls for the leaves for the trees. Noah Kramer and Me decided to use his
    blueprint because mine was way more complicated than Noahs. So we both
    agreed to use Noahs Blueprint. Its important to know how to use different scales
    because you need to make blueprints with the proper scale.
    In Conclusion, for the last two months we worked on blueprints and scale
    model courtyards in Architecture. We worked hard to perfect our project. This Is
    what I learned in Architecture this year.
