Arazi-Urban
Introduction
Ava, Reece, Trevor, Kaila,Hailey,True, Tristin,Christian,Tim
The city of Arazi was built to promote empathy and kindness. In order to to do that we have made a plan to create buildings that encourage interaction. For example, an apartment that has a party rooftop with a dance floor, it is called the “A party ments”. It began with a foundation called, Architects in Schools. We had a builder named Keith Knowles to teach and help us accomplish this project. Our class was split into groups creating the city of Arazi. The city planners, Julie, Marlon, Max and Katie helped us with our part. They gave us tips and advice. They also helped when we needed to fix things or change things.
Building, Structure and Scale
In the process we used a lot of cardboard, we also used plastic for the windows. To go over the cardboard -you can't forget paint! The paint is so important to Arazi. Without it Arazi wouldn't be the same colorful place it is. The next material is paper, we built big signs and walk ways to show the place you are at. The land material is turf it is in all the the grassy areas of the park. These were the top five materials in the city of Arazi!
Craftsmanship
In the urban section of Arazi we worked really well together and got it all done. Each of our teammates had a skill that we used to make the city. When we finished, we would help others that weren't done---that's empathy in the making! Overall, the urban section had a really good time. We each got assigned about 1-3 buildings. Each person got to decorate and build what they were assigned.
Teamwork
Most of the times we helped each other with our buildings so it could get done faster. Even if we were done we would still be working on other things that we could help with. We did not get into arguments easily even-though we got in to MANY disagreements! Last but not least, as you can see the teamwork and quality showed lots of thought and care in our section of the city.
The Urban Area
The Urban side of town is a positive city and welcome to all! We want everyone to have something to do whether it is... watching a basketball game at the “Arazi Center”, relaxing on the garden rooftop of “Zen-Ments” apartments and looking out of the ten story building the “Arazi Tower”, while working on your important papers. You walk out of your new favorite gym, “K-Fit” you see a beautiful 5 star hotel named “Hotel Federico” you just have to check it out! You tour the building and find out some of the famous celebrities we know now have stayed there! Then you see the hard working employees lifting boxes left and right into the “Empathy-side Factory” and people enjoying the lovely cafe food from the “Cat Cafe” while reading your favorite Dr. Seuss book, Cat in the Hat in “The Seuss Library”. Now it is you your turn, you go

Now it is you your turn, you go
around, tour the urban area and you see two places that spot your eye... the “Hospital” and the
daycare right next to it, “Hand in Hand”. There are the nicest employees in “Hand in Hand” and
the most relaxing chairs to sit on in the “Hospital” (What? Sometimes you just have to relax.)
The next day you realize you TOTALLY forgot about your friend’s birthday in two days! You know
she likes sports and shoes so you make a quick stop at “Swoosh”, the place for all you sports
needs, and get her/him a new pair of Swoosh Airs and a brand new basketball. After a long week
of touring the urban part of Arazi you think to yourself, “This is the place to be!”.
Conclusion
The final product was amazing we had roads, sidewalks, apartments, plants, and fun! We
think that it was a valuable experience because we learned many lessons like building with scale
and using household materials such as turf, cardboard boxes, sticks, paint, paper, pipe cleaners
and lots more. When we were done building our buildings, we created cool signs. Our teacher
was very helpful with cutting and problem solving. We had volunteers to help us primarily cut
the cardboard. All fifth graders should participate in the Architects in the Schools.
