Going on a Hunt...An Architectural Elements Hunt!

Many artists, throughout the history of art, have painted, drawn and designed building, cities, maps, and even floor plans. Architecture is the profession of designing buildings, open areas, communities, and other constructions. This could include town planning and landscape architecture. Some of the elements you see on your architecture scavenger hunt today would be things planned and designed by an architect.

Frank Lloyd Wright is a famous architect and designed his buildings to fit with the environment and location such as Falling Water House. He designed everything from houses, schools, to museums and skyscrapers. He invented a cantilever to reach out over the falling water of the falls. If you wish to see an aerial video of Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water House, watch the video below.

After your Architecture Scavenger Hunt, it's now your turn to be the architect. You have many options, you could ....
  1. Sit outside your home and draw your house and all the trees and plants around it, using your skills in observation.
  2. Design your dream house and include everything you wish you had during this quarantine.
  3. Draw a floor plan for your current home, include the furniture and all rooms.
  4. Draw a floor plan for your dream home.
