7th Grade- Recycled Items into Architecture!

For the last week of the semester my 7th grade students worked on a group project that centered around architecture. The students read about Frank Gehry and observed quite a few of his architecture examples. After getting inspired, the students picked teams, created an architect business name, and started to assemble a model out of recycled materials. The students each had jobs that included designers, maintenance, masons, and time keepers. Students made restaurants, amusement parks, wind turbines, and even a firehouse! The creativity was flowing!
