10 elements

                                                                                [space]
Looking around campus you can see that new buildings are being made and space around campus is large. This is because the number of sudents is large and you need more space to keep students happy, you dont want students to crash to one another.
                                                                   [power and precedent]
The Ionic columns around campus can represent the power of woman back in early years.
                                                                                [Order]
The way the campus is organize is in three ways. Dorms are on one side of campus, the Cafeteria, library, and EUC are in the middle, and clases are on the other side.
                                                                              [experience]
UNCG buildings are similar to the buildings of ancient greece because almost all the buildings have the same architecturar elements and materials. Architect were probably first trying to build building that would look the same throught the whole campus and they did found it. Same with the greeks after looking at what they could do they came up with the idea of columns and temples.

                                                                             [principles]
The architecture and size of the buldings shows how they are related to the learning enviroment of students. Students need buildings were they can interact with other students and study (library)

                                                                                  [site]
UNCG is located near the downtown of Greensboro. This enable students to walk outside campus and learn about Greensboro more.





                                                               [scale]At UNCG the bigger the buildings, the better and more important they become.


[technology]

Paths and monuments like minerva statue, water fountain, clock, and the rock beside the library makes the life of students more pleasant and easy.

[surface]

UNCG is locate in a plan surface with makes it easier for students to walk around and easy to locate buildings from a distance.

  1. You did a nice job with your images although you didn't label them. I feel you didn't understand the meaning to some of the elements (for example space and surface). There is also the fact that you didn't have examples for each of your elements nor did you have much to say for some of them. Try to explore your ideas more.
