Communications In the Built Environment

This is the third attempt to build a structure that would fit into the 400 x 120mm rectangle. I found it very difficult to determine how large the space I was creating was and therefore how do I know how to what scale I am working with if it is part of a scale model?

Paper Model Scale 1:50 This was the best scale to work with, as the paper maintained a more rigid structure at this size and therefore it was easier to create cutouts in the paper and for it to maintain the desired structure. Cardboard Model Scale 1:50 I maintained the same scale as the previous paper model so that I could really compare the different materials. Different Folds   Ideal Room Scale 1:50 I made this model using the same scale as the previous two models. I used the same dimensions of my room, location of the wardrobe and location of the door.  To make the room my ideal space I sloped the roof, extended the height of the window, added a loft and added a staircase that descends into a basement like area. The room I have added beneath is a cave-like room that I formed using scrunched paper so it looks like rocks.    The paper allowed me to make the handrails and stairs quite easily.
