(1) First, and foremost, I plan on addressing the room creativity requirement by having my room set up in the way that most effectively enables the audience to spectate my presentation through what I read in "A lively Theater" which states that an audience crowds around what they wish to spectate and thus a circular set-up of chairs around me would be best. Secondly, I would like to prep up the desks the students will be sitting on by placing blue prints as table cloth to get them into the feel of architecture and also placing my essential question in the cloth. Last, but not least, I would like to place posters of famous buildings on the walls which would almost resemble an art museum.
(2) I plan on doing an activity for my answer #1 where I have the students learn how to take advantage of the resources around them when designing a structure. So I will have them choose between importing and grabbing materials from local markets. I will do this by color coating materials like Popsicle sticks (wood) for example. One color of this material will be more expensive due to the expense of importing and this will go on with the other types of materials like glass, shingles, doors. The students will have a certain amount of money and after they are done I will explain how important it is for an architect not to try to make everything to fancy but also think of factors like expense, efficiency, and recycling.

Answer 2
Essential Question: What is most important when designing a structure?
Answer 2: What is most important when designing a structure according to my sources so far is thinking green. This is an important aspect of architecture that must be incorporated in the new designs of buildings as the need for energy efficient buildings is increasing.
Sources"
1. My science experiment
2. The biosphere article I read about sustainibility
3. The Pomona College garden that that has been built on top of a roof which I helped plant.

The Product
As of March, my product of my project is the progressing improvement in scale drawing. This is my product because it is absolutely necessary to have mastered when designing a structure.
The making of my product began when I decided to sketch a tree before my architecture class. I showed my professor after the class and asked for his feedback. He actually said I did better than most of his advanced students would. I then asked what I could do to improve as an architect and he said to begin scale drawing, were you would sketch any object and compare it to a six foot tall person which is what architects typically do when designing a structure.
