Curious about what historians and academics have to say? - concept work -> what is the meaning of life? of you project that is - structural design -> just enough to make it stand, even during mother nature's worst - choosing the materials -> wood, brick, stone, metal, concrete, so, many options.... - drawing and detailing -> not enough if it's all in your head, eh? builders have to read it and so do your friends and teachers - visualizations -> 3D renderings for a jaw dropping effect Think you need some of these?
