Expository Writing

This task tested our ability to formally and conisely discuss our model making. The tiny nature of the word crippling the ability to add extra detail and reuslting in a refined and avid description of my approach to course actitivites. The pargraph below refers to the imagined space, orginally designed in week 5 and reitterated in week 7, which was made rather spontaneouly by viewing the appeal of elements physically within the models. Enjoy!

I attempted to examine the effectiveness of physical modelling within design by using different scales and materials as catalysts for thought whilst creating an imagined space. The initial model was made of paper at 1:50, hence everything seemed pliable allowing me to make important decisions on larger elements; including the forms, windows and doors. A 1:20 cardboard iteration provided rigidity in form diverting focus to the furniture, its intricacies and arrangement, within the allotted spaces. An additional light source allowed me to refine a space (the upstairs living quarters) by altering the forms in a more decorous manner. Pleased with the quality of the output I will henceforth endeavour to include model making within my architectural design process.

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.

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.
