MODEL IT! Workshop week4 Final model fisher hosue 1:50

This fisher house i spent a lot of time on doing the interior of this house because i think the design of this house is more focus on the details of the interior and the windows. I used balsa wood for thi smodel because i have the most experience on working with balsa wood and i think materiality of the balsa wood is similar to the fisfer house and i used the scrambled tracing paper for the extrior of the basement because i think it gives a sense of roughness and naturally feeling without taking away too much attention from the house itself. I wouldn't say I am enjoying this workshop, i would rather say i am learning through out the workshop. I am not saying I don't like this workshop but I just think that from this workshop I really learnt a lot, I start with how to cut a piece of  wood then to learning different techniques with different materials and understanding the space and the relationship of the plans. This is a really good experience overall and i like it, no matter what result i got from this workshop and i am still happy with how far i came along in this workshop.

MODEL-IT! Workshop 3 site model 1:200

I did the site model using the white cardboard as the contour and I also did the fisher house in white cardboard and which i realized that it would be better if i use a different material to present the house cause it is a different material, so i changed by using balsa wood for the house. I found that it is quite hard to use white cardboard for the contour because it is so hard to cut and i can't use sand paper to modify the edges, therefore i didn't choose this material for my next model~

MODEL-IT ! workshop week2 bacelona pavilion and conceptual models

For the bacelona pailion, I spent about 9 hours on this and I used the mattress in the bathroom as my found material and i used it for the water because i think the repetition of the pattern shows the waves and the ripples of the water. I found this is quite hard to get a straght and clean edge when using balsa wood, but then after i attended the lecture in which some of our classmate are giving presentation on the their models, I finally found out the way to make a nice edge which is using sand paper.

My first conceptual models is not really good because i just think in sode the box without really developing the space in it , I redo the model at home and i think the result is much more interesting than the previous one that i did. and i have made 2 conceptual models too, ine of them i am using the white card board which is really good in making models which straight edge because it gives a really clean edge, and the other one is came from the idea of the nagative space of the one in white cardboard. I was then decided to use the white cardboard for my site model because the tidiness and the clean feeling white cardboard gave to me.

MODEL-IT! workshop week 1 conceptual models

These are the first models that I have made, I do not have any experience in making models before. I learnt how to cut a piece of  balsa wood and I am happy while i was making this model because i found it is very interesting. I can create the space as i wanted straight away in my models~

Draw it!process

This is the poster of the "Draw-it!process" in the workshop 1. In this workshop, i learnt how to draw perspectives and the techniques of drawing plans. I was reminded to render abstractly from the feedback which i will keep in mind and improve it the next workshop~

In the revised drawing, i only choose black and white to represent the simplicity of the magney house.

I first draw it on a paper with pencil and render it with different types of hatching in pencil. Then I import the drawing in photoshop, and invert the colour to black and white. I think the revised version is a lot more abstractive than the one before and is more able to represent the building and the idea of the architect( Glenn Murcutt)--touch the earth lightly.
