Final Reflection

Personally, I was most involved in the actual forming of the structure in the revit program. When i first drew up my structure, it had no basement and it wouldn't have passed ADA requirements. As I continued, I added an entire movie theater into the basement. If i had the chance to work on a similar project I would begin working on the structure much earlier and also focus on more of the material aspect of the building. Throughout this project i have learned the roles that both the civil engineer and the architect have in the forming of the structure. I have learned most about the needed documents that a engineer or architect must have and the guidelines they must follow when creating such a structure within the close quarters of school grounds.
