During the semester, we have explored different aspects of the Python language, and learned how to use it to create classes that represent elements of a building structure based on a regular grid. Now it is time to integrate this knowledge into a more cohesive & complete exercise: the final project.
Learning Goals of the Final Project: Integrate all knowledge gained during the assignments into a more complete building structure.

We’ll begin with a walkthrough of Assignment 03. This review will cover:
- A brief overview of the main task, which was previously demonstrated in class.
- Challenge 01: Assigning categories to each slab. Each slab can be categorized as "roof", "floor_slab", or "bottom_slab".
- Challenge 02: Visualizing all the slabs in our building grid in a stacked or "palletized" version.
In this final assignment, you will integrate all the concepts learned throughout the course into a comprehensive building structure. Using Python programming, you will create a building that incorporates architectural components such as slabs, columns, and facade walls, sculpted by a filter class.
Your building will be placed in a real location in the city of Zurich. You can choose one of the following five plot locations for your design project: Altstetten, Hardturm, Letzi, Heinrich-Areal, or Escher Wyss. Each location has unique characteristics and potential constraints, so consider factors like plot size, shape, and local context when making your choice.
