Inspired by Paul Revere Williams' architectural designs, create blueprints and sketch a dream home of the future.

Classify iconic Las Vegas buildings as either "duck" or "shed" architecture and defend your opinion in writing.

Invent a fictional business and design a Googie-inspired sign for it. Consider target audience, pricing, color schemes, font styles, etc.

Discover architectural styles from around the world and how they have been brought to Las Vegas as "repli-tecture". Work in teams to construct a paper building model in one of these styles.
