Architecture is the way that a building is designed and has different angles you can perceive it. We are building a model that we have created over the last couple months. We are now enhancing our model to be better.
Overview of the day
Today was very hot because the weather was bad. Inside we were working on our model and the wiring and we actually got work done which is really surprising because how efficient we are (which we aren't). Once we did that we pretty much had nothing to do for the rest of the time inside. by the time I we were done with that it was lunch so we could take a break. Then we had to work outside, oh boy that was so hard because we had to life really heavy boards and we did that for a solid hour I would say. I thought it was fun carrying those heavy boards even though I'm the weakest person ever.

A structural wall carries the weight of the house. From the roof and the upper levels of the house all the way to the foundation.
Overview of the day
Today wasn't as busy as yesterday. We started the day working inside; We worked on our model for the day. We hadn't finished yet. We needed to find ways to attach the vinyl to our stage. We started to experiment with it but we simply couldn't find a way to attach the piece onto the model. Near the end of the rotation we had a plan to attach the vinyl. So then it was lunch. After lunch it was our turn to work outside and that wasn't as eventful as last time as well. We started to build fences for the new site. It wasn't too difficult because we just needed to drill a couple hole so that the fences would stay together. My partners were Ryan and Darius. The drills needed to be precise or we had to start over. Though it was really hot, we still got a lot of stuff done.
3rd Journal Entry
A structural engineer is a specialty within Civil engineering. Structural engineers create drawings and specifications, perform calculations, review the work of other engineers, write reports and evaluations and observe construction.
Overview of the day
The last day was not that eventful to be honest. We didn't really do much; Inside we were working on our wiring again because I thought we only had to use 3 tools and I used 2 buttons and a natural light. We had to use one of each which was a pain but I still got most of the work done. We needed as much work done with our model because we needed to showcase it at Festival. Outside we were making fences and that was the same as yesterday.
