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.

However when made to upload the file, Sketch Up automatically adjuested the file size to within the requirements, I am unware of the process by which this was done and so can not attest for the quality of the final model in relation to the model which is visible infront of me the author. To download the original model please click the google drive link below, taking care to download both the .skp and .skb files before opening. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1yvdMAz2PMUxV0mcoWn6G9GlERUjdHA70

Design Journal 08/03/2020

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...

Cardboard Model Making

This blog post details my procedure for making an archtiectual model of my room thorugh snapshots of the desgin process. This model is made cardboard on a 1: 20 scale. The model itself was initially glued together but due to the thick corrugation the glue started to seep in and lose strength, as a result tape was added for extra reinforcement.
