What did this assignment entail?
-This is an assignment will build your creativity, self direction and skill in using Floor Plan Creator. You will be making: *A 2 story Hotel with the 2nd floor stacked in alignment with the 1st floor *20 guest rooms each with a bathroom, closet, and all furniture *A reception lobby *A ballroom with at least an 18 foot high ceiling *A cafe/restaurant *A gift shop / retail space *3 Stairwells connecting 1st and 2nd floors. *1 gym with 2 locker rooms. -What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why? I'm very proud of how big I made the hotel. Due to my want for symmetricality, I ended up nearly doubling the needed amount of guest rooms. I'm also happy that I added a gym since I like hotels that have built-in workout centers. What was most difficult about completing this task? -The hardest part of this assignment was how I had to find a way to successfully fit all the required areas into a unique space. There were times when I could figure out how I wanted a certain room laid out or what space would be dedicated to what. How could you improve this work? If you could start over, what would you do differently? -If I could redo this assignment, I don't think I would change much. There are only fine tweaks that look a bit off and need a redesign. I would keep the lopsided bathrooms and furniture as it adds character. The gym could be a bit more detailed but I am happy with the makeshift treadmills. I would also try my hand at the electricity tools but since they aren't required and I don't know how to use them fully, it would be more of a spare time thing. How does this relate to what you have learned in the past? How can you apply this to future learning? -We have been working with floorplancreator.org for a couple of years now and this was a great way to test my knowledge of the tools and my own creativity. By learning these aspects of house design and modern architecture, I can effectively use them in a large variety of uses like engineering and even game design. Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why? How did you develop and/or improve upon your 21st Century Skill with this assignment? -I feel this assignment really improved my Creativity for making layouts and Problem-Solving for fitting together necessary parts. Despite having a list of aspects that were needed, I was able to fully control how the rooms were laid out and who they all connected to eachother. |
