Architecture

Students in the advanced architecture class are currently studying a section on urban planning. Several guest lecturers have been meeting with the students.

Dr. Ralph from Washington State zoomed in to talk to the students about her career in Urban Planning. 

Another guest speaker they had come and share her knowledge with the students was Shauna Talbot. Shauna is a city planner for Nephi City. She came with a whole detailed city made with Legos that she had made in advance before coming so the students had an actual visual.

Thank you to both of these ladies for taking time out to help our students learn .

Students will be building a model city to collaborate with the drone class to help them with simulating drone emergency response.

After completing the architectural history unit our ALC architecture students went on a walking tour down Center Street in Provo.  The field trip helped the students identify different architectural styles from the historic homes lining the street.

The Provo City Landmarks Commission states: "Provo’s historic architecture is important as a tangible reminder of the efforts and sacrifices of our predecessors. Rather than building a temporary village, they worked under great physical and financial hardship to create a modern, beautiful city that would be a credit to their community, families, and culture."
