Revit Project part 1

 This project deals with the program called Revit. Here, I am planning out my project with pictures of the soon to be project. Its actually a series of steps called "Getting Started." If you follow all the steps, then you will get a beautfuil house! Will be posting more info as the project progresses!

Revit is a architect program used to render houses! Before, I worked with a program called Autodesk Inventor. But Revit is so much better! I feel as if I was creating a new life! This programs at first seemed scary and hard to learn, but I picked it up quickly!

Civil Engineering vs Architecture part1

This was one of my first assginments. I was assigned to make a powerpoint comparing both fields. Although the powerpoint looks simple, I learned a whole lot, but this is what i learned:

Civil Engineers: work more with   math and figures. They care more about if the actual project works!

Architects: They are more involved with how the project looks and if its appealing to the eye!

I personally like architects better because they can creative and have more freedom!

Civil Engineering vs. Architecture

This actually is my second project of comparing both branches. Will be posting more info about this project in the first version.

Concept Maps Civil Engineering vs Architecture

                                                                     Concept Maps: done 10/6/10  uploaded: 1/21/11

     This was one of my first major projects. Also, I documented in my engineer's notebook about how I created this concept map. But first, let me explain what a concept map is.
      A concept map is a map that show relationships between elements. So, let's say that in one bubble is the word animal. Then, some lines will branch out to other things that show relationships. So:
animals-----can be------dogs, cats, cows..etc.
In this case, we are trying to form relationships between architecture and civil engineering. As you can see, this map is very deatiled, ranging from how lawers help protect a project to the programs used to render the building.
Concept maps help out in many ways!
