For this task, I need to write a comprehensive guide with suggestions for revamping spaces on both a large and small scale. The manual will cater to anyone looking to enhance the aesthetic and functionality of their space. This includes an audience ranging from architecture enthusiasts to interior designers in search for tips to transform or create new environments. 
For the small scale I will be discussing these points. 
Scale and proportion: Choose furniture that fits the scale of the room. Oversized pieces can overwhelm spaces easily. 
Artificial lighting: Create environments throughout the space by using a mix of task, accent, and ambient lighting to foste a balanced atmosphere. 
Multifunctional areas: Design or combine spaces with multi purpose use. Like an office that can become a guest room. 
Textures and materials: Introduce different materials to add depth and character to a space. 
Natural elements: Add greenery to make spaces look alive. Strategically integrate natural elements to enhance the organic feel. 
For the bigger scale, it would require more extensive planning and design considerations often impacting multiple rooms in a building. The following suggestions would be presented and explained. 
Open plan concept: Remove non structural walls to create an open layout that enhances light and flow. 
High quality materials and finishes: invest in durable materials for floors and walls to ensure a premium feel of the space. 
Landscaping: strategically design landscaping plans that include shrubs and trees to compliment the built environment. 
Facade renovations: update the exterior with contemporary materials or paint to a more modern color scheme
A cohesive theme: Establish a unified theme that essentially unites all spaces through consistent styles, materials and color palette. 
The guide may include images (not included in the page count)and diagrams to further explain design choices.

Week 7 Treatment Project
You have recently explored the complexities of combat trauma, including the difficulty with self-identification, complicated diagnostic processes, options for treatment, and the potential barriers to treatment, among other important areas of concern. Reflecting on information from the course related to the psychological trauma of combat and the treatment options available complete the following assignment. Ensure the plan presented is based upon evidenced based practices established in the field as effective in addressing psychological needs in disaster settings.
Instructions:
Develop a PowerPoint presentation targeted toward combat service members and veterans who are seeking information about treatment options. Drawing on the information learned throughout the course, draft your PPT to present an appropriate treatment option to both the active service member and the combat veteran.
Identify psychological symptoms the service member or veteran might be experiencing.
These should be discussed in plain language, with enough information that the service member and veteran can connect with what is presented.
Select a specific treatment method or model you have researched throughout the course that is appropriate to address the symptoms you describe.
This method does not have to be evidence-based, it can be an emerging treatment method, holistic approach, or a traditionally used evidence-based approach; you are not limited in your selection.
Introduce the selected treatment method, including the following:
A description of the treatment method, its application, and use in active duty and veteran populations.
Ensure explanations of the treatment, how it will be received, and the requirements for treatment participation are clearly discussed. If differences exist for participation in treatment based on status (active duty versus veteran), these should be clearly outlined.
Provide a rationale for the recommended treatment method.
Discuss the reasons this treatment was selected over other treatments.
Discuss the reported results of symptom treatment and management.
Discuss the potential side effects or adverse effects of the treatment.
Provide a pathway; identify the steps to accessing treatment.
For both active duty members and veterans, discuss the various ways treatment can be accessed.
Identify programs, departments, agencies, etc. that can be contacted offering the specific treatment described.
Discuss barriers that may be presented in the process and offer methods to overcome these without becoming discouraged in the process of seeking treatment.
Conclude with your final thoughts on treatment seeking, options available and self-educating on the topic.
In developing your work, be sure to rely upon academic, scholarly sources to support the definitions and recommendations provided. Scholarly sources should be cited both in-text (speakers notes) and on the reference page of the submission. A minimum of six academic, scholarly sources are required to be cited in the work, 4 of which must be peer-reviewed journal articles.  Course materials may not be used.
Work should be submitted in a PowerPoint file and be 10 to 15 slides in length, excluding the required title slide and separate reference slide.  You should ensure your PPT meets the following criteria in addition to covering the topics above:
The slides should contain mostly bullet point data related to the requirements expected in the instructions above.
Information on slides (including the reference slide) should be easily readable with an appropriate font size (do not cram all the information onto one slide and shrink the font).
Formatting should be consistent throughout the submission, this includes font, bullets, spacing, alignment, pictures, etc.
A background appropriate to the topic should be used on all slides and the background should be appropriate for the font (style, size, color, etc.), bullets, and graphics you have chosen.
Pictures and graphics (appropriate to the overall topic and the slide itself) should be included throughout the submission to keep the presentation interesting and add an additional dimension to the presentation, a good rule is a picture every other slide at least.
A title slide should be included with the same information that would be found on an APA formatted paper cover sheet.
All detailed explanations should be in the speakers notes only.  Use of comments or any other method of adding additional information is not allowed.
Detailed speaker notes should accompany each slide with in-text citations.  Your speakers notes should equal at least a 5-6 page APA formatted paper to ensure you have covered the topic thoroughly.
Submissions should be formatted per APA standards. 

An infographic is a way to communicate information in a quick and easy way with a combination of images or graphics and few words. 
Instructions
Select a topic related to infancy or toddlerhood. Some possible topics might be: 
breastfeeding
vaccinations
circumcision
gender-neutral parenting
co-sleeping
child care
or any other topic that interests you
Do some background research, and then find at least two journal articles that provide more insight into that topic. You may also reference information from national organizations that focus on child development (American Academy of Pediatrics, UNICEF, etc.). You must use reliable sources and good science. Please note that YouTube videos, Wikipedia, Podcasts, and blogs will not be accepted as reliable sources.
Pick out some interesting information from your research and create an infographic with that information. 
Your infographic must include
At least four facts about your topic in your own words. Please do not use any direct quotes.
A minimum of two images (pictures, charts, and graphs all count as images). Please make your graphics or charts easy to read.
Please note that using another infographic as a graphic or chart will not be accepted.
See the example below.
If the issue is a source of debate, you can present both sides on your infographic (for example, the pros and cons of circumcision or breastfeeding), or you can focus on one side.
Try to make it attractive looking.
Include your references in APA or MLA format either at the bottom of the visual or on a separate page. 
If you need a refresher on paraphrasing or references, please watch this video to learn how to paraphrase and this video to learn about how to format APA references.
Formatting
You must use your own words – no copying/pasting or quotations are allowed.

Research Project: Modern Times
The research project “Modern Times” seeks to challenge the prevailing narrative of modern architecture, predominantly centered on Western perspectives promoted by entities such as CIAM, the Ford Foundation, and MOMA, among others. Through the examination of various architectural and urban projects, the research aims to critically reevaluate modern architecture in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia regions, often marginalized or overlooked in mainstream discourse. This project offers an opportunity to explore diverse manifestations of modernity and propose alternative frameworks of architectural knowledge that go beyond the traditional paradigms of the Modern movement’s language and formal structures.
Each student will investigate a case study, addressing several key questions: How does the project align with the country’s modernization efforts? What defines the project as modern? What architectural elements characterize the selected piece, and how do they reflect the local culture? The final presentation will consist of three A2 boards:
Opening Page and Introduction:
This board will serve as the introduction to the case study.
It will feature an opening page with the title of the project (“Modern Times”) and the name of the case study.
The introduction will briefly address some key questions, setting the stage for the in-depth exploration.
Images and Text:
This board will primarily focus on visual representation through images and accompanying text.
It will showcase photographs, renderings, or other visual materials related to the case study.
The text will further delve into the case study, addressing specific questions and providing context or analysis as needed.
Two and Three-Dimensional Analytical Drawings:
This board will present analytical drawings of the case study, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional.
These drawings may include floor plans, elevations, sections, diagrams, or models that provide a deeper understanding of the project’s architectural elements and spatial organization.
The analytical drawings will offer insights into the case study’s design principles, functionality, and cultural significance.
