In Mrs. Burrell’s Civil Architecture and Engineering class, Upper School students applied their knowledge of design elements and architectural features by building models of different house styles.
在Burrell老师的土木建筑与工程课上，MVA高年级学生运用他们对设计元素和建筑特色的理解，搭建了不同风格的房屋模型。
Drawing inspiration from her history lesson on Southern Colonies, Junior Gianna Dvoran designed a Southern Colonial style house from the 17th to 18th centuries using foam core for the base and roof and straws for the columns. Senior Jackson Ball, motivated by his mother’s love for ranch-style homes, created a model out of cardboard. Inspired by ranch architecture from the 1930s and 1940s, his model included a large porch, many windows, and an open floor plan.
受历史课南方殖民地内容的启发，高中三年级学生Gianna Dvoran使用泡沫芯作为地基和屋顶，稻草制作柱子，设计了一座17至18世纪的南方殖民地风格的房子。受母亲热爱牧场式住宅的启发，高中毕业班学生Jackson Ball用硬纸板制作了一个模型。他的这个模型借鉴了20世纪30年代和40年代的牧场建筑风格，涵盖了一个大阳台，多个窗户以及开放式的平面布局。
To conclude the unit, the class will tour the Town of Montverde and study various houses in the area to gain a better understanding of the architectural concepts they have studied.
课程临近结束之际，全班同学将会前往蒙特沃德小镇进行参观，对该地区的各类房屋展开研究，从而更深入地领会他们所学习的建筑概念。
“I love offering students meaningful, engaging projects,” said Mrs. Burrell, “projects that ignite their interest in architectural careers and inspire them to see the world around them from a fresh perspective.”
Burrell老师表示，“我热衷于为学生提供富有意义且引人入胜的项目。这些项目能够点燃他们对建筑事业的兴趣，并激发他们从一个全新的角度看待周围的世界。”
