rhetoric or rhetoric?

if you haven't already, read the flier above for context.

Using rhetoric is important when trying to argue a point. We sat in on a meeting of alders to experience the use of rhetoric in the form of persuasion. There is logos, the appeal to logic, ethos, the appeal to ethics, and pathos, the appeal to emotion. using this knowledge, I have made a flier addressing our second topic, affordable housing. Our class toured a 6 flat being renovated to be affordable housing to experience what one might get when living in one such unit. i have made a flier about affordable housing using the different rhetorical appeals (above).

discovering christophers flaws

 There was once a man named Christopher Columbus. He was an adventurer and loved finding new places to explore. However, he had some bad qualities. He didn't think of others, he always acted before he thought and never really took everything into consideration. 

One day, he decided he wanted more than what he had in his homeland. He set out in search of a new place to conquer. He found the America’s, and found people there. He didn't like those people and made them think things that weren't true. Christopher was a powerful, yet evil man. 

ramp up gce!

In class this term, We have been working on designing a student lounge that is a safe environment for everyone in the school's population. I chose the corner room to model my design since it is large and already has a lounge vibe. Our class went to the Harold Washington library to see how their student lounge is designed so we could have some inspiration. Their lounge had chairs, benches, all kinds of furniture, colorful accents, and reader-friendly material. In theory, this lounge should reflect the community and who is using the lounge, not just one small group. This is also connecting to Sdg 4, making safe environments that are accessible and friendly to all people. in order to get my ideas down properly, I sketched out a floor plan I thought would be appropriate for the given requirements. then, I sketched a model of the chair I thought would be accessible to anyone. 


To represent my ideas I made a sketch of what id like the floor plan to be. I essentially want a cozy corner low-stress zone for people to do whatever they'd like.

walkways

needed: sound systems, comfy chairs, proper lighting, ramp, more familiar door, games + puzzles

Essentially, the idea of no exclusion was in my mind when drawing this. i made a small stage for whatever kind of performance may be in action accessible to wheelchairs or otherwise disabled people. i took inspiration from the chidrens library, to make it mostly mono-level.
