Guest Expert
Sharon Ferguson Pope AIA, NCARB - Owner and Principle of Atlanta - based, Atelier 7 Architects LLC visited our 1st Graders in September. It was truly exciting! She brought her positive spirit and examples of her previous projects, sketches, blueprints, and prototypes, as well as models of her tools and the buildings she is able to design and produce. This visit from an expert in the field of Architecture allowed our students to gain insight into:
How her creative and design process begins with the end in mind
How it is both similar and dissimilar to our DREW Engineering Design Process
How students must always make sure they are addressing the needs of their end-user or client - Problem solving includes being open to modifications, improvements, and sometimes even starting over!
Real world examples and application of how we can use our process and creativity to make truly ‘Magnificent Things’!
