Week 8 Response
There are two main themes that I see throughout my research; they are sense of place and community. Generally everybody feels at home within this club and is comfortable. Sense everybody in this club is an arch. Major they are use to this building and this particular atrium that where the meetings are held, which also give them reassurances about the club and their different comfort levels. The other main theme is community. Everybody is always involved and talking during all of the meetings I have been too. Nobody ever gets put on the spot or feels left out in any of the meetings so everybody gets to voice their ideas about what should go on throughout the club. When I asked some of the members in the club what runs through them at the meeting area, they said"comfortable." I think everyone who has class in that building tends to build a sense of home there because of the grueling hours spent working. My place in the culture is observer/member. They try and involve me in this club because they want me to think about joining them next year so they keep me up to date with activities on campus and such. Overall nothin has really changed.

This club sounds comfortable and like a tight group of close friends. Being an architect major takes a lot of work and a lot of time so I am sure everybody gets to know each other really well. Its good that you all feel comfortable and at home in during the meetings because nobody would want to join if it was awkward or uncomfortable.
The people in architecture seem very nice and laid back. They must have fun with what they do, no matter how hard it can get, to help non members out by including them. This sounds like a very good experience and also a great community.
