1. Positive Statement
What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?
I am most proud of the amount of examples I put into my presentation to show how it is actually applied in real life scenarios.
2. Questions to Consider
a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?
P
b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?
P
3. What worked for you in your senior project?
What worked was that I was able to understand my topic and find reliable sources that I can refer back too.
4. (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you
done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in
time?
I would have practice more on my senior project, since I did refer back to my notes.
5. Finding Value
How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.
My senior project through mentorship has allowed me to network for internship and or future jobs. I had gone to an event through my mentorship and had gotten to talk to the CEO of Metro Link. So senior project has helped me to get involved in the architecture community and get my name out.

Blog 16: Advisory Meeting 2
EQ: What is the best way for an architect to incorporate natural surroundings in a building design?
Answer #2: The best way for an architect to incorporate natural surroundings into a building design is by observing natural surroundings in your environment and taking your observations to apply to a building design through its form or structure, this process is widely known as Biomorphic Architect. Through your observations you can also take from what you learned in nature and apply it to make more efficient solutions to design problems, or known as Biomimicry.
Support 1: Biomimicry is the study in which innovation is inspired by nature. The purpose of Biomimicry is to solve man-made problems in a sustainable manner through the study of nature's processes and patterns. We can look at the structure of a pine cone can used as a model for low-energy temperature and moisture control system on the outer structure of the building; in the pine the process of a self regulated temperature is maintained through the use of opening and closing based the pine cone's sense of moisture content in its environment.
Support 2: The idea of how biomorphic architecture incorporates nature into its design is through form and structure. In this instance an architect would analyze nature and observe the structural form of a plant and by using columns that branch out like a tree, this concept can be seen in Sagrada Família church by the organic architect: Antoni Gaudí.
Support 3: These two philosophies are not the literal aspect of incorporating nature into your design but rather the forms, pattern, structures, and processes of nature and how it can serve the purpose of being aesthetically pleasing or serve as a design solution.

Concluding Sentence: The best way to incorporate nature is through the design philosophy of Biomimicry and Biomorphic Architecture.

Blog 13: Lesson Reflection
1. Positive Statement:
a. What would assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation?
P
b. Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 Contract.
I deserve that grade P since I turned my lesson plans in on time, had materials including EQ poster ready on time, my introduction did address my EQ, and I provided specific answers to my EQ, had an activity that required facts in my lesson to do, had met requirements for 20 mins minimum of lesson and 10 mins of research, and I cleaned up after my presentation.
3. What worked for you during lesson 2?
- I am proud of having met all the P requirements, since Ortega said we had all met the requirements; and am proud of this since I know I could have done better on my presentation research wise and by meeting all the requirements makes me a little more at ease.

3. What worked for you during lesson 2?
- What worked for me was setting up and cleaning up quick since both setting my materials up and cleaning them up did not require much time; because I only had a few papers and already knew how to use the projector.
- I would have found a better way to engaged my audience in participating in my activity as well as my hook. I would follow through with this by starting with my enthusiasm with my topic.
- I would have also done a more in depth research on my answer so that I can fully explain "how" can an architect incorporate nature into a design. Focus my research on how can an architect preserve the pre-existing site?
- By observing nature and implementing natural designs into the structure of buildings.
