B.  Home Entertainment: Design your ideal home entertainment system.  Draw a diagram showing what the system would include and where it would fit in your home.

TASK 3:  DESIGN CHALLENGE

Each week, students are required to complete a design challenge that focuses on the application of the content covered in the readings presented in the textbook.  Students are expected to present their best work and compile a curriculum portfolio that showcases their abilities in Housing & Interior Design content.  For this design challenge, students will experiment with landscape architecture.  Each student will design a landscape plan for a client.  The plan will incorporate plants that work for the location.  Upon completion the final product will be included in a portfolio that is due at the end of the semester.
