Desing Charrette

1.) In this project we worked as a group with everyone having different tasks to do to complete building homes and a town center for a stake holder that wanted his 100 acre land to be renovated. We were to build 150 homes and a town center for the stake holder. We worked together to get it done and then finally presented it.

                                                 Reflection:

1.) What i learned was how engineers go about building things by working together and sit down and do a desing charrette before they jump at getting materials and building.

2.) what i liked was getting to imagine we were building a town on 100 acres and we could put anything on it we wanted.

3.) what i disliked was nothing this was actually a fun project.

4.) what i would do differently is find a better way of taking group notes because the note taker never always kept up with our speeches and comments because we either talked to fast and couldn't keep up or got of topic.
