Blog 1- Introduction to Project

My name is Megan Lesowski, and I am a senior architecture student at ACE Academy. ACE Academy is a charter school in the Portland that provides additional education in architecture, construction, and engineering. I will be using this blog as one way to document my Senior Capstone. For my Senior Capstone I have chosen to design a sustainable camp facility. In this project I will use the local Portland program Step-Up to provide constraints for my project, and I will have Hanif Fazal, creator of the Step Up program, and Sierra Hill, facilitator of the Step Up program, mentoring this project. The standards that I will be using to determine my success in this project is the certification of LEED and The Living Building. My final project will be created in REVIT 2010, and my end product will be blue prints of my design. This project started in September 2009 and is projected to be completed in April/May of 2010.
