Project overview Architecture own country / other countries

Built houses in SketchUp

Every country built their own

We put the houses together and made the village

Learned a lot from their culture and architecture

SketchUp A program to make 3D models

Used by architects

Free for educational use (SketchUp Make)

We like it because you can build whatever you want

We’ve done SketchUp projects before so we knew what to do

The International Village

The International Village in SketchUp

The project on Facebook

What did we do with the Facebook group?

Why did we use the Facebook group?

Why Facebook and not something else?

Great to see buildings and landscapes from other parts of the world

Evaluation Dutch students Interview with Bauke and Simone

Evaluation

"I realised that each country has different architecture which is based on its culture and the materials,which are used, depend on the location where the buildings are built.”

(Greek girl, 16 year)

"Even I have revised and learned many things of INDIA'S itself."

(Indian girl, 15 year)
