A town in North Georgia...nothing but trees for miles.
An old styled lantern that was hanging from a gift shop in Yichang China, the farthest I've been away from home and such a different style of design.
St. James Lutheran Church in Ohio. 
My marching band trip was to Arizona, this was taken from the balcony the first morning we were there.
Illuminate: Illumination can be an idea or knowledge was illuminated to you or in the literal sense where it deals with light. Our most recent project was to build something out of MDF board that played with light and shadow. Some of the students used the negative space to have the light shine through others, as S. Burrowes said, “tried to contain the light source within” their projects.
Rotation: Like the rotation of the moon around the earth, ideas rotate around and through societies. People often bounce ideas off of each other or find a quality of an object or drawing that they like and change it by scale or proportions. By seeing the styles in an area architects can take it to their city and reproduce it.
Movement: In the 18th and 19th Centuries trade became huge. People were traveling to America, China, and other exotic places coming in contact with the culture there. By seeing other parts of the world you see their cultures and different styles that they take from the varying temperatures.
Reflection: A reflection can be looking back on earlier projects or an actual reflection like reflections off a lake or symmetry. By reflecting back on previous works you can get new ideas or can improve the old ones in a way that you did not see or consider before.
Source: As the Romans looked to the Greeks as a source, the Americans, at first looked to the British. Through seeing a style different cultures made it their own style, but still held ties to what the object or style originally came from. Later the Americans wanted to “get away” from the British in all forms, as in clothing and architecture. At first the houses in America were almost exact replicas of what was made in England, because that is what they knew about the world.
Revisiting some of the words from before is interesting in that we now have even more knowledge and maybe a different perspective on the words for the week. We also have something else to say or a different way of conveying what we want said that can be taking to a higher level.
Grammar: SYNTAX
Audience: In building a space you have to appeal to your audience. Depending on whom you are presenting to changes in how you convey it. If you are building a space for children then you would make every thing according to their size, and most likely use many bright colors.
[Re]vision: Revising is to take an object and make it better. The Romans are a good example of revision, they took what the Greeks had made and used it to make their own style as well as make it better. Then again when the British Empire started to invade, they did a redo on the Greek style though the Romans.
Character: In architecture the buildings have a language as well as character. In France the architects created living spaces that resemble a palace with one façade but many interiors that looked the same. In America the same idea came about, the exteriors were the same, but the interiors were different.
Transition: In presentation boards, the information and pictures need to be read and followed with ease without you being there to explain it to them. The transition between topics is a major part in how you put together your presentation and how well the information is taken in.
Datum: In any arrangement of pictures or paper that is hanging on the wall, you create a datum line. It’s the negative space between the objects in question that frame the picture. The negative space around or between objects, we look for without even thinking about it. If the space slants or is uneven then the people looking at it will be more likely to notice it.
Periphery: What you see around you can have affect on what you are doing. By taking nature and using its forms to create or tell a story is a process that designers have to use in their line of work. Using the details and making them use their surrounding to create a feeling.
Portfolio: A Portfolio can be a device that holds everything that you have drawn usually on 2D pieces of paper or a flat canvas. It documents your progress through out your project or in our case a semester. Keeping up with all that you have done is important because you can look back to reference with another project or an earlier version of the one now.
Process: The design and writing processes use a series of steps to get to a final or finished product. This begins with an idea, or inspiration that can be created or taken from something else that exists. You then evolve the idea by putting it down on paper with stories or make sketch models with a design idea. After the initial idea, you begin to simplify by developing prototypes and pull together the ideas that work for your final product.
Perspective: Just like everything in life, we all have different perspectives. The way you look at topics and opinions changes on what you believe to be correct. Perspectives are views like how we see things. The most common are one-point and two-point perspectives. One-point perspective you are looking at the flat side of an object or building, two-point is from the side or corner.
Professional: Making your project look professional is a complicated task. The craft of what you present says how much time you spent on it and how much you cared for the details. Professionalism is also in how you present yourself. You would not go to a presentation dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, you would dress according to whom you are presenting to and what it is you are presenting.
I feel that this weeks words were about presentations. Your portfolio holds your process of your work. Periphery and perspective are how you can interoperate objects and people around you. By being professional you show how serious you are about what you are doing for the project or in life.
