Week 7 Iterative Imagined Space.

This week has a focus on photography and so students were asked to iterate the imagined space model whilst considering and improving tis photogenics. Since the macro form had already been developed last week, I opted for a larger scale of 1:20 to allow for further detailing and more furniture, here's how I did it! Please bear with me whilst I attempt a more interactive version of my flipbook presentation, this one should hopefully describe all the steps with some key observations, please comment below on which style you prefer, and thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Just as before, thick carboard prevented neat cutting and folding.
A sheet of fridge box was cut and had face profiles drawn.


Using a Stanley knife the profiles were cut, leaving the faces exposed
The exposed faces provided datum for drawing detailed interior features.
Initial problems with profiling were allowed for a creative solution to this week's requirements
 which stated the mandatory addition of a light source, so I used a piece of cereal card
 to create the back wall and roof whilst implementing a stylish feature window.

The window was neatly cut out since the cereal card was thinner than the cardboard,
cling wrap was also applied to provide a realistic and transparent texture.

Part of the reason I chose this scale was due to its potential ability to incorporate furniture, whilst lots of different furniture was made, many involved iterations of the basic folding techniques used below. Unfortunately, I would struggle to convey these with enough instructive precsion I'd rather not impede your time-lapse with redundant commentary and let the folding speak for itself, listen closely...














The resultant model was assembled more than made wholistically, furniture from the 1:10 model from last week was also added to help meaningfully define the space and create awareness as to the importance of secondary spaces as a wholistic attitude towards my ideal wok space. Whilst seemingly simple this embodies the interconnectedness and busyness of a potential life, one in which work becomes inseparable from one's life without life seeming just like work. It emphasizes the importance of light within all spaces and seems a more realistic (especially given the housing market!) projection of an imagined ideal work space. Its location is left variable, perhaps somewhere calm amongst watching the waves or maybe even as a modular attachment to a quaint addition to a comfortable home space in which, I can envision my habitation to be ideal or even imaginary.

Begun translating mys section into a 3D Design, currently the exterior of the upper floor and gallery is complete. Two Stairs need to be either redesgined or added, and lansdcape modelling is incomplete. Basic progression in the build is shown through the images below. The following section has been chosen for construction. Diffuse Striation The hexagonal dome was the most obious part of the section and so was intially constructed, a smaller dome being madw within to act as a sort of photography studio for the Kyza. The stright parts of the section were elongated into a trapezoidal shape to accomodate a geodesic structure at the edge. The edges expand to emphasise the experience of the widening of the space and the panoramic views of the landscape offered. The first floor was similarly articulated with basic geometric shapes and considerations for natural lighting through galss windows.  To increase the complexity of the stuructre curves were added into the roof  to metonomise...

The 3D model is almost complete textures and materiality still remain, along with the sloping of the gorund as well as the completeion of online activites regarding the model (including adding the custom textures), depending on time constraints I will endevour to reder this in Lumion.  Work proceded on the model as external components were brought in to imply usage for the spaces on the floor above.  These componets were veichles and car lifts imported from Sketch Up's native 3d warehouse, and are credited in the photos below. Stairs from the first submission were brought in and integrated, to help define access to the above and below levels. The Monolithic cieling of the vestibule was given character with intircate roof art to create textures and depth. A ramp up to the Kyza was installed in the centre of the gallery, whilst the stairs remian ofsset to the left, a sort of symbol prioritizing the access of cars to the first floor rather than that of people. Aadditionial elemen...

My name is Sehaj. I study civil engineering with architecture at UNSW. I don’t want to scare you away! But I prefer you experience this blog personally and intimately. I post for expression, and your viewing pleasure, it’s quite exiting! This will grow as I do, so I extend you an invitation take a look around, make yourselves at home and interact, with what’s on show! To those of you kind enough, I invite you to click the posts and read between the lines(literally!) Hi! My name is Sehaj . I study civil engineering with architecture at UNSW . I am slowly increasing my sentence length for your comfort. As this description goes on my sentences will exponentiate, becoming increasingly complex and intricately detailed. But until then I write simply. This is because I don’t want to scare you away! As we progress, I’d have you note the decreasing formalcy of my tone. Cause I’d prefer you experience this blog personally and intimately . As is...
