The tour the class went on Wednesday, we had the chance to better our skills on observations. We got to see the major changes in the Metro Tech area and a little bit of the future changes in the area. The tour to me was really eye-opening especially for someone who is not in an architecture major, I got to fully understand how these changes can affect the people living in a community. I’ve never fully understood how these changes can impact a community but getting a tour from someone who is experienced and able to explain and show the past and the present was very educational. Something that stood out to me was how a street that used to be so important that led directly to Borough Hall was blocked off by a hotel. Changes like these show me that instead of the City making the commute to an important place easier they rather build hotels and places that will put money in their pockets. Overall the tour experience helped me improve my skills in observations as well as making voice memos for our bigger project.
