Today discussed what we have accomplished so far since Day One and our presentation on Open House. For the presentation part, we mentioned how we will need to add more info into the power-point, and be more interactive/engaging with the audience. In addition, we talked about the plan for how to improve our landform in the future. We analyzed the landform design and noticed that everything in our place does not have a purpose. Furthermore, the size of some structures is not proportional to some of the others and the scale.

It's the last day to build our landform for Open House. We worked during break, class, and lunch. We were able to finish the basic construction and power-point.

Today we had to work fast and productively since it is our last day to build. At first we weren't sure what to do because a few spots on our landform were empty and our original ideas weren't working out. Eventually after some trial and error we thought of making watch centers where the teens can sit and learn more about the different sets. We also revised our apartments, so lots of more people can stay in the two buildings. We finished our sets, and now all that's left to build is our theater, and a couple small details.

Maximum. Today we had to work at our maximum potential in order to finish the landform project in time. With Claudia gone for Cougar Challenge, we had some trouble getting started. However, we slowly began to find our rhythm and eventually were able to finish the majority of the landform. One major setback we encountered was realizing the buildings were not proportional. Mr.Garcia gave us some advice and told us that by creating smaller rooms, that everything would be proportional.

Our plan for today was to work on the structures. However, the group encountered some problems and overall did not feel productive. First of all, we wanted to make the buildings sturdy and so we used cardboard. However, we started to run out of cardboard and had to improvise by layering cardstock, which took more time and materials. In addition, we had a two-sided screen (one side the green screen and the other a movie screen), but we later realized that putting the green screen on the green grass would not be a good idea. So we detached the 2 screens and decided to put in different locations, which also took up more time. At the end of class, all representatives/team leaders from each team were to meet with Mr.Garcia for some new information. Claudia, our representative/team leader, later came back and informed the rest of us that this project was due Wednesday. Everyone was assigned something to work on over the weekend so that on Monday we can just place the structures onto the landform. That way we will be able to work any necessary touch ups on Tuesday.

Today our group focused primarily on building the sets for our society. We finished painting the details of the land form and the movie screen/green-screen started building the city set prototype and began researching ideas for how to incorporate at least four elements of matter into our landform. In addition, we discussed what we still have left to do, and planned what we should do for the next building days.

# data[].attributes.body
Our group's main priority for today was to finish painting the land form and start building the structures. In order to complete today's to-do list, we have separated ourselves into 3 smaller groups, each working on different tasks. One of the groups worked on painting the landform, while the other made papier-mâché for the mountains. The third group worked on finishing the apartments. Our group feels that we were all being productive, with each and everyone in our group contributing help towards the construction of our landform. However, we wished that we brought more materials for us to use. Our plan for the next time we meet is to start constructing all the sets.

# data[].attributes.body
Today's goal was to piece together the land form and work on the buildings. We were able to begin constructing the pathways and have specific designs for each set on our island.

# data[].attributes.body
We have not officially met with our group since day 11. This morning during our break, Mr.Garcia signed off our concept but did not approve our design. So, we met up during lunch and came up with a new design. Rather than making our landform "bean" shaped, we were inspired by Mr.Garcia to shape the land in a specific way so that it can have a purpose. Our new land form is now shaped like a clapboard. By the time the seven-minute warning bell rang, our group has accomplished to cut out the land form, cover the land form with paper, and make a prototype for our apartments.

# data[].attributes.body
Our goal for today is to come up with our landform design and the scale. Our group thought we had a purpose idea, however, once we checked with Mr.Garcia, we realized that there was no solid purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
It is day 10 and by the end of today, we will need to come up with a solid purpose and ideology. We have been talking about how engineers and gardeners should come here to make something. But Mr.Garica didn't like the idea. We decided our people limit is 1,000, but they stay there for 6 weeks and learn how to be balanced. We make an age limit 13-17. We decided that we would bring in 13-17-year-old teens and teach them the ways of equality and be balanced so they can begin a new generation of equality. The way we would make different groups and combine them to make a society is by combining teens with different personalities to get along. Before teens are allowed in we decided that we will test them to find out their personalities and characteristics. Some of the personalities can include introverts, extroverts, physical, mental, etc. We would then split the teens up into groups and make them work together and learn how to be balanced. Also, as a group, we decided that the genius loci of our society are welcoming.

We started today's meeting by going over our goals for today and then going outside to do a group activity in the upper field of CMS. We experienced the seven principles, composition, tension, balance, light, harmony, order and design. We then went to our landform groups. Our group talked about different communities that share a common goal since we created a real big community that is worldwide. We are currently discussing the specific communities. We are also talking about different way to have of land layout

# data[].attributes.body
The moment class started, our group started to discuss our way of transportation. We have to rethink our purpose for our society. In addition, we cannot have general communities but rather need a specific community.

# data[].attributes.body
It is day 7, and we went over a lot of things of our community. We recapped with one of our team members, Rachel, the things that our group has done and went over. And in this class time, we have come up with our type of transportation and talked about our building concepts. Our team came up with a community name of armonía in English stands for harmony.  It is almost the end of class and our group has homework of coming up with designs of our transportation.

# data[].attributes.body
It is day 8, and we are currently discussing the design of our community and the homes that will be in our community. We are researching ideas, and talking about what we should use in the community and the pros and cons about some of our ideas. 1:23 PM and we came up with three types of homes, 1 for couples, another for families,  and the third one for parties and special occasions.We also decided that at the time we don't think that we will put a school in our community.

Yesterday we were discussing how we want to organize our island and the things we want on our island. Today we are focusing on how we want to make our buildings and a  3D representation of some words that we were assigned which are: harmony, composition, light, tension, design, order, and balance. We also had to research what the word means to us. The time is 9:00 and we have finished what we were to complete. We are all talking about how we want to design how building.

# data[].attributes.body
Last time all of us went home and looked up images to get inspired on how we want to design our landform. We talked about different concepts on how we want to organize the land and what we on the island. We have drawn different ideas for the island and combined all of our ideas in one. We decided that we wanted to have this island where people can live here and vacation here. People want to come here for the equal opportunity.

It is day 3, and we are figuring out the locations for our community and how our society is balanced. There are a lot of different ideas currently being tossed around the group, and good arguments to why it is good or not. Our group decided that the LGBT community, African Americans, and men and women who are treated with unequal or unfair rights are in our community. It is currently 10:34 A.M and we are in our fourth period and our group is having difficulties working on ideas and together period, the reason is probably because we are barely into the project/challenge and don't have a stable idea yet. As of now, we do not have a concrete idea for our landform. So our homework for the weekend will be to design a land form.

# data[].attributes.body
It is day 2 and we feel indecisive.  First of all, we tried to come up with more ideals. Our top choices were harmony, cooperation, fairness, and balance. After much debating of each of the choices, our group decided on the ideal “balance”.  We all agreed that balance for the people means to treat everyone the same, for everybody to be equal and to be treated no more or no less. We all are together as people and work as a stable team. However, after learning more about the principles of design, our group has decided to rethink our new ideal. Each person in the group has been assigned to research what landscape could inspire our new land form.

February 1, 2017 Wednesday - Day 1                                             Today, we got in our groups and went over what we were doing for the ideal land form challenge. We talked over the criteria, and it was very confusing. We also talked about how we all thought equality  was and talked about different topics about equality.

It’s only the first day and everyone is already stressed out. We were first assigned to groups. We (Angel Leano, Claudia Gomez, Danny Valenzuela, Matthew Taghaboni, Rachel Jang, Riley Moon, and Taylor Yoshida) began reviewing the objectives/criteria for the Design Challenge Place for the Development of Ideals, which we thought will be difficult to manage and follow through. The group thoroughly researched the definition and synonyms for the word “equality”. In addition, each person on our group shared their point of view on equality. We were able to come up with a few synonyms such as “balance”, “same”, and “equal”. As of today, however, the new ideal that has been inspired by the American ideal of equality, is “fairness”. For the chosen populace of LGBTQ, fairness should look like everyone is getting the same and unbiased opportunities.
