About the project of obelisk, my work is different with most of students. My work is to find a good place for every obelisk. The purpose of this work is try to make more people to see the obelisk, and if somebody stand beside one obelisk, he/she will easy to find another one. For this purpose, the obelisks should be put at the place where is easy to see by people, like cross, flat area. And the target area is a wide area. We get 32 places in total. We mark them from NO 1 to NO 32. We use chopsticks to made signs at first. But we found chopstick is easy to get hurt and missing. At last, we use iron instead of chopsticks, iron stick and iron slice. And we take photoes for every place. The map could show us the 32 places clearly.

1. Get a free virtual site where what you understand by the Built Environment and Human Settlement may be built, maintained and access by anyone.
Built Environment, we should consider many things about the site. We should consider the environment around the building and the relationship between inside the building and outside. For example, there should be enough air exchange through the window. We should think about there is enough sunshine through the window enter the room. And how to design the house to make it reasonableness. In a nutshell, Built Environment is refer how to make the house more reasonableness at that place, or that place is good for built house or not.
Human Settlement, is the site where human will live for a long time, and we should consider the site and some other factors around the site is good for living or not.
2. Design and built your site the idea of production and explain in detail the production of your construction.
Built a house, the first important thing is chose site. The aspect we should consider like the place is noisy or not. The house is near the factory or not, because around factory the air quality is not good. So we will chose the site where is quiet and far from the factory. And other aspect like weather, social, law, climate… They also should be considered.
After chose the site, then we build the house. At first in ancient time, the people build house is just for protect them from rain, strong wind, animals and so on. But in modern society, the purpose of building is not only those simple reasons. Now we build a house, we should make it look nice, beautiful appearance. And it has good air exchange system, to keep the fresh air in the room. The window should be designed reasonably to make enough sunshine enter through the window. The rooms, kitchen, toilet should be arranged carefully in the house. The kitchen and the toilet can not be very near. The wall can stop the noise. If there is a noisy room, make sure the other rooms can not be affected too much. The purpose is to make the people live in it who will feel convenience and comfortable.
