Handmade Models





Written Statement

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.

https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/embed/4ae9704e-23b1-47bd-8738-1d44680d980d Note: The originial size of my Sketch-Up file was 100MB which exceeded the 45MB allowable upload limit for 3D Warehouse. 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.
