The idea of the project is to do some internet search on a topic to later integrate voice, text and images using the web-tools and applications you know and/or new ones plus the contents you learned in this class with the purpose of presenting the work of an architect or the characteristics of a city or a public space.
 * Dead line:** The sooner the better!!! (Before week 12 ends)

 * A. Favorite Architect Project**:

In pairs or individually, you will do some internet search to find out about the life and work of an architect of your choice to later present your findings to the rest of the class. It is important to notice and describe how your favorite architect treats the architectural elements and effects we have discussed this term (Horizontal Circulation, Vertical Circulation, Rhythm, Acoustics, Color, Light & Texture).
