My name is Erica Johnson I am a High School senior. My school offers a program called W.I.S.E. in which you can take a half a year of regular English than instead of continuing with that go off and pick a topic in which you are interested in and find it worth persuing further interest. I want to become an Architect. I honestly didn't know much about the requirements are and what it takes to be one so this is my research on how to get the best options for becoming an Architect in this modern job world.

Journal 59 (April 8th)


Today was a sign out day I was able to go to my local Library and look at some books on architecture because I was thinking I'm so impressed with the Architecture Library which was located inside the Architecture building in NJIT's campus that I wanted to look up some more things on Architecture. I got Icons of Architecture: the 20th century By Sabine Thiel-Silingand Wolfgang  Bachmann.
 "This international survey of key architectural monuments brings together 37 contributors' brief essays on more than 70 houses, apartment buildings, office buildings, clubs, factories, museums, concert halls, and other building types." That is a brief summary of the book I found on the library’s site.


Another book I got was.... The architecture traveler: a guide to 250 key 20th century American buildings
 This is another brief description which Ifound online "Describes 250 architectural treasures of the 20th century, gives notes on their history and design, and provides practical information for visiting them, with addresses, phone numbers, visitor hours, and maps. Each entry includes a b&w photo."
