Reflection

Throughout this assignment, I have learned to differentiate and identify the architectural and structural materials in a building. I can also find the pros and cons of each material used in building construction. I have also learned about the installation of materials in some parts of the buildings and understand how the structure works. Other than the research of the building (Milwaukee Art Museum) that is selected, I have also learned about composing information in an infographic style on boards. I have also studied what mindmap or composition is best to present information clearly and visually pleasing to readers.
