WHAP Architecture Project {Video Version}



I have been requiring my students to use our city of Asheville to complete an architecture project for almost ten years now.  Being the home of both a hefty dose of classical architecture, as well as art deco - it seems crazy to teach the importance of this without nudging the kids to go see it, feel it, and document it for themselves.

So, in 2005, a completed project consisted of poster board and typed papers.  But as our access/ability to use iphones and digital media has progressed, so have the possibilities for the architecture project. Two fantastic students used the project to make a short film of Asheville's architecture, as well as grabbing some extra credit points for local flavor.  They made us proud.  Enjoy!!
