Week 5 - Model Making

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.

3 Minute Individual Presentation 100 Word Written Statement Line & Natural Surfaces explores the interactions between light and natural surfaces in creating shadows. I aimed to understand this connection by projecting light sources to mimic early morning light from the east entering the vertical window and afternoon light from the west engaging with the slanting rooftop garden. Furthermore, artificial light sources interact with the internal space forming a web of shadows around the staircase and on the floor below. Overall the project created both harsh geometric shadows and delicate lines of light, which through photography and photoshop could be examined to establish the unique interactions with natural surfaces.  10 Best Process Images

Week 7 - Physical 2.5d Fusion 360 Model

Measurements for the Fusion 360 model  Physical model made from Fusion 360 measurements Within this transitional space, I wanted to capture the importance of the rooftop garden that lowers the ceiling within the broader part of the hallway and creates a rectangular prism within a larger one. Plants and soil made from Chux Scourer sponges. The black paint covering the space helps capture the form of the structure.  There are three doorways along the side of the space that would lead to other separate rooms or hallways. The large opening at the back of this space is meant to indicate the connection this space has to a hallway that would extend from this space and separate into two rooms at the end. The doorway at the front of the space would be the front door to the building. This physical model for some reason turned out opposite to the physical model. Noticed when looking at the doorways. I made another one prior to this to thi...
