Students at Charlotte Engineering Early College have been studying residential home designs from different historical eras. To showcase their expertise, they undertook projects for the school’s Architectural-Style Home Tour, which was held Jan. 28.
Engineering teacher Leslie Cosentine said the project was an introduction to architecture for a civil engineering architecture class. Two-person teams had to pick an architectural style, research it, then represent it in a 3D model, showing the recognizable features of that style. Various materials were used in the models, and students had to follow a rubric, work within a budget and operate effectively as a team.
The projects were judged by the students’ peers at Charlotte Teacher Early College. The winners were:
-
Best Craftsmanship | Queen Anne (#20) – Karla Aguilar-Karbajal, Alisson Guzman-Valencia
-
Best Use of Materials | Arts and Crafts (#22) – Nathalie Vergara Murillo, Rania Lgod
-
Most Creative | Counterculture (#23) – Gabby Hemingway, Louis Bourgognon
-
Best Representation of an Architectural Style | Thai (#2) – Dylan Kesone, Erick Hernandez; French (#24) – Alejandro Camacho Tuesta, Kabir Jani
-
Favorite Overall Model | Queen Anne (#20) – Karla Aguilar-Karbajal, Alisson Guzman-Valencia
-
House You Would Most Like to Live In | Cape Cod (#28) – Emery Judd, Alaina Thompson
“This came together in about a week,” Cosentine said. “They had about a day and a half for research and were panicked, but they know how fast it is and just keep going. This event just gets better every year.”
