-What is the best way for an architect to incorporate the natural surroundings in a building design?
2. What is a possible answer to your working EQ?
- By using observation and analytical skills, architects can best understand and define their natural surroundings in a project design, allowing them to incorporate surrounding natural elements into their design.
3.What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?
-New Organic Architecture: The Breaking Wave by Pearson, David
4. Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?
-Currently I am volunteering at a program called ACE Mentorship. For the past two meetings our class had been focusing on collaborative work efforts as a team, by designing and constructing towers and bridges. This concept ties into the realistic aspects of how both architects and engineers work as a team to have a resulting product that is both structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing. My mentorship activities relate back to my EQ by covering the notion of how a building must have fluidity in all its external and internal components. In the theory organic architecture states that a building's materials must come together as one and no such material should be distinguished from on another; as well as the idea of using limited materials in organic architecture to express natural forms. Within my mentorship, building and designing a structure with restricted materials exposed us to the idea of "limited materials" used in organic architecture; in addition to the idea of fluidity throughout a building we as a group had to brainstorm how to utilize our assigned materials in order to create a structure where all its components tie in together without having any one of them that is useless or stands out.
