Weekly Recap: The whole week I worked on a large model of the peninsula to help the team better convey their ideas in 3-dimensional form. I am learning this week to deal with the dead line of my internship coming to an end and the reality of the scale of the model itself. Although I do intend on getting it to a good point to be able to hand it off, it still will need a large amount of work. It also has been interesting to learn more about ARCgis as a tool for later projects and the professional realm. Since Design Division is a part of the city they get more access to the tool and more accurate drawings. This concept does not make since to me considering the information could easily help firms quickly produce drawings and study the city.
