What I've Done So Far...

I've Done:

• collected one model
• secondary research
• primary research
• finished furniture and building plan drawings

What I will (try to)do this lesson:

• 1-make the models
• 2-make the models
• 3-P.E Lesson
• 4-finish models

What the building will look like

 For my Eco friendly building i decided to make it a biomimic to a flower such as...

• rose
• tulips
• bougainvillea

I also had a brainstorm about how I could copy the shape of a bug called the darkling beetle. I thought of doing this bug because of it's unique and life saving structure. It sticks its abdomen in the air and lets condensation drip down to its mouth.
