Measurements & Diagrams
To accurately construct a model of my living space, careful measurements were taken using measuring tape and translated into a sketch to visualise the space in 2D. Doing so allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of form, open structures and facilitate movement in the area whilst considering the dimensional stability of the model making material (cardboard & cardboard paper).
Justifications
- Cardboard paper and cardboard were used as the medium for this preliminary model due to its forgivingness and ease in manipulation.
- Due to the physical limitations of cardboard paper (dimensional stability), by reducing the original scale given (1:20) to 1:40, the model is able to increase its strength and thus maintain its structural form
- Shelves were cut out from the original walls to reduce the use of glue and external materials to create existing elements in the room. This was also an experiment to visualise how light would penetrate the model from different openings.
PAPER CARDBOARD MODEL
Natural lighting
- (+) Have a lot of cardboard paper available
- (+) Cuts are cleaner and cutting complex shapes are easily manipulated
- (-) Can rip and tear quite easily
- (-) Easily creased
Artificial lighting
CARDBOARD MODEL
Natural lighting
- (+) Strong and durable
- (+) Structurally stable and are easily glued
- (-) Does not look as clean as cardboard paper (frayed edges)
- (-) Hard to work with and cut
Artificial lighting
CONCLUSION
Moving forward I will choose cardboard paper as my medium due to its ability to adapt and ease to work with in comparison to cardboard that is not easily folded.
