Hello and welcome to the final action project of my Junior year! For this action project, we were asked to take space from any city in the world (including our own) and imagine it. I decided to use a closed/abandoned school in my own neighborhood. This used to be a special needs elementary school that was also a place for neighborhood kids to sled on snowy days. Ever since the school shut down no one has been allowed to use the space for anything. I wanted to design the space so we can give it back to the kids of the neighborhood and I also made some age-appropriate changes since everyone that used to sled there has grown up.

This is my rough draft sketch of what I feel like the area should be turned into. The unused buildings from the school can be turned into a cafe, a restaurant, and a bookstore and the playground in the back can be upgraded to a skate park to fit with the growing ages of the neighborhood teens.
Below are images of a 3D model I built using the Sims 4. I thought using sims would replicate the feel of the future construction billboards that you see at construction sites

In conclusion, I really enjoyed this project. To begin I sketched out an idea for the empty space in my neighborhood. Then I made a 3D model and made my slideshow. The hardest part of this project was finding a medium for my 3D model. I started out in Minecraft but quickly realized that I did not have enough time to place each block piece by piece. That's when I came up with the idea to build my model in The Sims. In The Sims, it is easier to build because you are able to place a whole wall in one click. The hardest part of that was posing the models. I think that this was a perfect AP to end off my Junior year. See you all in Senior year!
