Description:
ACE Mentoring Program is an extracurricular program dedicated to taking high school students and exposing them to Architecture and the real world. 10 students including myself, were taken to downtown LA and shown what architecture is through the ACE program. At the end of our 5 month learning experience, our mentors took a step back and gave us a real project to work on.
The site of this project was local; right in the school’s backyard. My high school has been short on some facilities and in some cases, for examples, our gym took on the role of several duties as a band room and auditorium. So in our project, we designed building to meet the needs of the school and the plans were actually considered by the board, but due to the lack of funds, the proposal was turned down.
For the building of the model, our real world architecture mentors were able to survey and produce an elevation map, in which I used to construction on the different elevations of the project. I also helped construct the featured structure and as well as the surrounding structures seen in the model.
