SnowCity

Blue

The colour blue symbolizes trust and loyalty two things that our group believes is crucial to a good city. Trust and loyalty between citizens establish strong bonds and connections amongst people which we believe is really important. This colour can be found throughout the city on buildings and in the sky.

White

The colour white symbolizes successful beginnings and protection. With a new city our group believes heavily in the citizens feeling safe and the colour white symbolizes that. Also, successful beginnings are key in the start of a new city so white seems fitting. White can be seen all around our city as white is the colour of snow.

Building Healthy Relationships

One of the values that our group feels that is really important to have is healthy relationships. The buildings in our city that represent healthy relationships are: The hotel, this spot could be used for honeymoons/family vacations. The restaurant, this spot can be used for family dinners, date nights, and outings with friends. Park this spot is a place where young kids and moms can make friends and connect through play. Houses that are close together establishing a trust between the families. I believe healthy relationships is a key value to have in any town because whether its friends, family, or lovers’ healthy relationships establish not only trust but also a sense of belonging as you feel happy knowing you are surrounded by people your close to.

Health

Health is a trait that each of us value. How we included it in our city was by adding a hospital, gym, and people either snowboarding or skiing. A hospital is a good way of showing health because they try to keep you in good health if you aren’t. They tell you what to do or take to stay healthy. The gym represents health because the gym help you maintain your weight and, keeps you on a good diet. Your weight and what you eat are a big part of help. Skiing and Snowboarding are both sports and doing sports is good for your health so is the communication you have with your team. they keep you motivated and help you have a positive mindset. This is also a part of being healthy, not just with your body but healthy for you mentally. All of these are located in our city. The hospital is next to the church, the gym is next to the restaurant and the snowboarders and skiers are by the snowy mountains.

Community

Living in a city means, living in a place where community is important. A Good community where its safe, happy, kind, and has a great environment, is where people would want to live for the rest of their lives. Snow city’s community is a joyful and free place to explore, that includes companionship, goodwill, devotion, etc. Its important for this community to stay positive, in order for people to feel safe and confident. At Snow City our community is always fun and cheerful, when people ice skate around the Christmas tree in the park , ski or snowboard on top of the mountains, and spread love and kindness to each other while doing it.

Reflection

This project is about figuring out what your true values are and then expressing them through a city design. The Program we used to create our city is called City Creator, and we chose to use this program because we found it was the easiest to work with and still come out with a good-looking finished product. Our group communicated through Snapchat, we made a group chat and used it to talk about ideas and what they were looking for in the project, everyone’s ideas were listen to and respected and people were not afraid to ask for help from group members. My responsibility in the group was to do the “Building healthy relationships” paragraph and the “significant colours” meanings. We made sure each member contributed to the design by doing the design together and always adding in your own ideas to make the final product an accurate depiction of all our thoughts. In my opinion we worked extremely well as a group, being able to communicate properly and diving the work evenly were big helps and the end result was good, and we finished before schedule. Decisions were made through all of us, and we made sure each member voiced their own opinion on the choice. We did not have any problems and there is not really anything I would change for next time as I believe we were efficient and worked well as a group. The final product was clean and brought our ideals to life, and I believe that our group is entirely happy with the finished product.
