Remapping the Map!

After sitting down with my Architecture group we came up with some pretty neat things that relate both literacy and architecture.  While sitting down in Atkins library we created a list of things that ties architecture into literacy.  On our list we wrote:
  • The specific ways in which the buildings are set up.
  • The way the buildings are situated on campus.
  • The actual insides of th buildings.
  • Specifics within the buildings, like artwork or etc.
This list helped us realize how architecture can positively or negatively affect literacy in many different ways.  In the updated overlay version of my map I added different classroom layouts.  The different classroom layouts can affect literacy greatly.  A lecture style classroom versus a intimate smaller size classroom changes a person literacy history dramatically.

  1. I like the way you're going about the project. I think that it's really interesting because I never really looked at architectural design in that way.
