What I’ve learned so far in both reading #1 and #2 is the importance to have the basic requirements of a successful building. I’ve learned that we should consider some concepts such  as scale, proportion, space, light, to make a building as a whole. I’ve also learned the life safety code which should become the first thing we should have in mind when designing a building. Overall the class given today was very successful and helpful. Professor Montgomery demonstrated  how to draw stairs plan and the importance of measurements of the stairs (7-eleven).
