FINAL REFLECTION

I LOVE T~$MONEY$ HE BEE LIKE HONEY!!
Many aspects of this project were involving, however if i were to choose one part i would have to say that the soil samples were the most involved. My structure evolved and changed many times though out the process of the creation such as the ways that the floors were constructed along with the materials used. I made these changes mostly to make the structure look really frippin cool. If given the chance to work on a similar project i would take more time working on it and less time playing silly online games. I have learned many things in the class of civil engineering and architecture through working on this project such as how to make mud cookies and how to conduct a percolation test.

Water runoff
thanks to the parking lot drainage problems can occure; a retention pond is often used to control the flow of water. But, there is a pond already on the property so drainage due to the addition of a parking lot should be just fine.
Waste Water will also be simple considering we are near the school, there has to be a sewer system alreasy run out this direction. We will be able to link our system to it and just pay for the usage.

Soil consistancy

Based on the tests that we did as a class on the soil from our site area, we found that the soil has a large ammount clay content. The water percolation test showed that hardly any water drained through the soil. And when we separated the dry soil we found that there wern't too many rocks and there was very little sand. The test we did with the mud showed that it is very pliable and sticky therefor making it able to hold water well.

estimated cost

The actual cost of the building i created is hard to judge; however if I had to estimate the cost I would have to put it around $700,500-1000000. The main reason why i believe this would be so expensive is that the floor to the first floor is made from one solid piece of tinted glass. This is a flippin awesome aesthetic feature that will make people want to come back to the White Knight over and over again, but it also increases price.
