Field Trip Idea

Field trip idea: Flat Iron Building

    I think a good place to go for a field trip in our CAD class would be the Flat Iron Building. It is located in the borough of Manhattan in New York City and is a 175 foot skyscraper that is built to look flat. I think this would be a great place to go because it has a unique architecture and we can learn about the different levels of engineering that went into building it.
     We could walk through the different parts of the building and see all of the unique parts of the building's features. We can learn about the interior of the building and can see how CAD was used in during the design and construction stage of the building. This building is considered a National Historic Landmark and is a popular tourist attraction, amongst tourists. Overall, I think this is an interesting enough building for our class to visit and learn more about.
