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

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...

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.
