Final Model - FISHER HOUSE (1:50)

My process Model - from in-class exercise, which

shows fine detail of one corner of the building.

3 images document the process of putting the model

together after each day of construction.

The staircase was a very time-consuming aspect of

the model, whereby you had to glue each piece or

step individually and ensure that all lengths were

cut extremely accurately to avoid deformities.

A plan view of all the components of the model

A birds-eye view of the components separated

A view portraying how the different components of

the model fit together and form one solid representation

Two images showing finer details of the model

and how light interacts with the facade of the building

These two images show the effect of lighting in

one room, coming from different directions, and

how it changes our focus in the room.

This was a great experience that challenged my

mental resolve and taught me many things

throughout the process of construction.

Week 2 Task - FISHER HOUSE Site Plan

 

The material used for the contours was box-board

The frame was made from bulsa and the river

was made of aluminium foil overlapped with

a thin (transparent) blue plastic sheet.

I found this model very time consuming, whereby

it was difficult to construct the fisher house to fit

in the site model perfectly. More planning was

needed, however my solution of trees being conveyed

through arrangements of thinly sliced boxboard adds

an interesting effect to the model - separating it from

reality whilst creating a synergy with the materials used.



Week 1 Task - BARCELONA PAVILION

I Chose the section the model to challenge myself

whilst trying to maintain the integrity of the model

and enabling all aspects of the building to be studied.

It does however affect our interpretation of how flat

and linear the building is - an ineffective representation.

Model - IT Process Models

1st Process Model - Simply the template used as

a base with slanted roofing, changing the perspective

of whether it is a courtyard or a house...

3rd Process Model - Different views

portray different characeristics and

show the effect light has on the space.

Angled / Slanted roofing became a theme

resonating throughout the models,

which progressed to create an interesting

effect on the final model,

where the interprtation of space is

changed from each view of the model.
