Answer #3

• Essential Question: What is most important when designing a structure?
• Answer: Accounting for the the environment around you when designing a structure.
• Evidence: (1) The farm market at the store is self-sustainable due to its environment, the Cal Poly Pomona campus emphasizes environmental design so the farm was not an exception. (2) The theaters that you go watch your movies are accounting for the environment as one would not be able to see the movies as comfortably if there was no slope in the seating arrangements nor get the feeling of a theatrical theater without the massive features of the building. (3) The stadium for the Arizona Cardinals is closed in because the heat is absolutely horrendous, thus the architects/engineers accounted for this and designed the building to suit the environment.
