Final
The part of the project that was most involved was the designing of the structure and the items contained in a structure. This took by far the most time because as a designer, you had to make the right decisions. My structure changed a lot from the interior part because i kept shifting areas around to make it more suitable and comfortable for the consumers. If i made a similar project, i would probly add a basement or an upstairs to my comericial structure to add even more space and comfort for the consumers. The thing i learned about civil engineering and architecture from doing this project is that it can take a long time to do something as small as a computer design, when they design and create large structures.

Project Description/Requirements
I designed a restruraunt for the area because having it closly located to the high school would allow service at all hours a day during the school year. People would also come in during summer months as well. Having a lake also makes the scenery of the of the resturaunt look more attractive. The restruraunt gives all ages good times because it includes along with two large seating areas, a movie theater and a gaming room.

Essential Questions 4.4
1. Why did we exaggerate the vertical scale when we did the profile layout of the road?
So that we could see the shift in height in greater detail.
2. In what ways do engineers use design to control traffic differently on an arterial opposed to a feeder street?
Arterial roads are designed to hold more traffic and with less stops than feeder streets.
3. What are some of the factors you would have to consider if you were asked to design a new parking lot for your local library?

Telling him the things that i knew i was capable of making so he didnt give me something that i was unsure of designing.
2. How did making the sketches when working with your client help the design process?
It helped by giving me a good layout of what i was going to design and the steps i would take in needing to create it.
3. What relationship do the various drawings and renderings have to each other?
They all give a different view or design of the lake house.
4. How did the existing plot plan limit your design?
I couldn't add everything the client wanted because of the lake house being 500 square feet.
5. What are some of the things you would do differently? How would you change the process to accomplish them?
I would of probly added more to the rooms of the house, maybe more furniture. By adding the features while constructing the room.
