We enjoyed learning at our last Enrichment Cluster meeting with Mr. Rob Norcross an Architect with Looney, Ricks, Kiss Architects. He shared photographs of projects that he has worked on here in Memphis like the FedEx Forum, Autozone Park, and the Memphis Central Library. Mr. Norcross also shared a new project that he is working on using buses as "mobile farmer's markets" to provide access to fresh vegetables and food to people throughout Memphis. St. Mary's first grader Annie Gowan shared blueprints from a recent renovation that she had done at her house and Mr. Norcross pointed out different design elements that it contained. We then had him give us tips about the structures that we built last week, discussing what made some of them stronger than others.
