WEEK 8: Iterative model with different material

Measurements & Plan for construction 

By creating a secondary half-floor to the bedroom, lighting is able to caught and manipulated from the back of the model and combined with the various open cut outs at its front to further illuminate the room. This builds upon the desire to create intricate shadows with manipulated light that forms an unconventional yet aesthetic structure. By adding the second layer to the structure, the asymmetric form builds upon the triangular geometry in previous models, and combines it with vertical cut outs to create a new design. 

Aspects taken from other models 

• rectangular box form from model 1 & 3 as it is the most structural form 
• The triangular geometry from model 2 but manipulated to fit the structure 
• The use of parallel lines and pillars from model 4 as they are effective in catching light

EXPERIENCE 

• Working with black cardboard made it stronger in structure despite being thin, however was quite difficult to cut clean lines with an exacto blade due to its slight rough texture. It was determined after trial and error using scissors was more appropriate 
• Through creating a secondary floor, it was gave height and dimension to the design that was able to catch light effectively.
