Reflection

Course Reflection

Throughout this year, I have enjoyed working with my thesis building.  The experience of working through a redesign of a building on my own has made me feel more confident going forward with AE.  I felt that exploring the use of wood construction in a newer application helped me learn much about the pros and cons of building materials in general, as well as what can be done in a building design to accommodate a specific material and its behavior.
