Problem:
Architects display their designs using a scale drawing (also called a blueprint). You have a client who wants to open a new yoga studio. Your team will design their new yoga studio by making a scale drawing based on budget, space, wants, and needs. You will justify your design decisions to the clients using a design board that showcases a scale drawing, costs, pictures of materials, and overall aesthetic.

Enduring Understandings:
- How to make design decisions based on constraints.
- How to make (and use!) a scale drawing based on real-life measurements.
- How to calculate cost based on unit price and size.
Essential Questions:
- How can a scale drawing help me evaluate how a space could be used?
- How can I evaluate different design ideas to decide which is best?
- How can I calculate the cost if I know the unit price and the size?
- Why do architects make scale drawings and why are the scale drawings so detailed?
