Dog House 1
Strength: ✗ I have understand how to use the basics and useful tools such as rectangle and line to be able to create different forms and shapes. Opportunities: ✗ For the next practices, I will be able to handle the basics to evolve my projects and express my imagination more easily. Weaknesses: ✗ As a first project and as a beginner, my biggest weakness is that I am limited in the use of the tools. Threats: ✗As I will go deeper in the learning of SketchUp, I should be mindful of what I have learned previously.

Strengths: ✗ Succeed to use basic tools in order to create a space that works. Plus the introduction of push/pull tool, offset.. has added complexity and make the work more attractive. Weaknesses: ✗ I should try to duplicate more the things that I have created in order to be faster in my work. Moreover, I should let my creativity expresses itself. Opportunities: ✗ Now that I know how to manage the basics and that I have learned other tools, I should keep on in order to realize more elaborate structures. Threats: ✗ Look at Weaknesses.
Crazy cubes arrays
Reflections Strengths: ✗ Successfully create cube, transformed it into a component and replicated multiple times to create this complex array. ✗ Zoomed into the array, turned my shadows on, and place several human figures for scale to create a dramatic shot. Challenges: ✗ I need to learn how to use rapid visualization techniques to hand draw something similar to what I produced in SketchUp.

Floor Pattern Study
High angle perspective view
Reflections Strengths: ✗ Keep practicing tools like offset, layers and groups had helped me to understand more how to handle them. Plus, adding scenes and animation had created a new dimension which make it more realistic.
Two point perspective
Weaknesses: ✗ I should practice animations in order to make scenes better. And why not widen floor patterns too. I sometimes found trouble when I wanted to reproduce a pattern. Opportunities: ✗ Creating those floors patterns widen my ability in the use of SketchUp. Threats: ✗ I succeed creating scenes and animation, although it still a complicated tool to me which I still need to figure out.

Piazza del Compidoglio
High angle perspective view
Reflections Strengths: ✗Creating something more steady and interesting. The evolution of the work in several steps helps in the creation and also shows the complexity. Weaknesses: ✗ I had trouble to take risk using tools that I wasn’t confident with and maybe results as a lack of originality. Top view

Opportunities: ✗I really appreciated this project. Therefore it had brought me ideas about I could recreate another existing place and Threats: ✗ I should be mindful of the details as I keep creating in order to avoid little mistakes that can twist my work and create problems as I continue.
