I found the Building Construction book that we had to buy for Cindy's class very helpful while making these wall sections and details.

My site
I was trying to use the site and the way I placed my buildings to go along with the concept of the farm yard.  I placed my roads that the big trucks would have to use in places where they would have the ability to enter and exit off of not busy streets.  The areas that are more public have main road access.  I started working on my parking areas and near the storage areas I made spaces large enough for large trucks and for cars.
Also, my materials are corrugated steel, concrete panels, and glass curtain walls.  I plan to have my gallery and entrance in corrugated steel along with my storage building.  The greenhouse will be a glass curtain wall that joins a concrete panel lab.  My structure is steel box columns.

Goals For the Semester

I would like to have something that makes me connected to each project.  Sometimes I have a hard time connecting to certain projects that are assigned to me.  I don't want this to happen so through research and ideas I want to find something within the projects to get me connected, excited, and interested.
This semester I would like to be more confident about my designs.  It seems like I go back and forth between being confident about my ideas and then back to wondering if they are even that good.  I want to work as hard as possible so that there is no doubt that it is the best I can do.
I would like to build my skills as an architect.  I would like to learn more about building materials and how these are put together within my projects.
