Assessment 3: Developing your style




100 word statement

Communicate through model making

Model making allows designers to visualise their ideas and thoughts which enhances the level of communication throughout a project. This is evident in our week 5 onward course work as we first constructed a scaled sketch model of our room and improved it using other materials to ultimately construct an expansion of our room. We were also introduced to digital 2.5d and 3d model making through Fusion 360. The features on Fusion 360 allow us to construct models effectively through laser cutting and 3d printing. With the aid of technology we are able to test out different material combinations through Photoshop. Model making made the communication of ideas convenient as present our ideas via a multi-modal platform.

Fusion 360: 3D object using my initial Alvis Wang On Yuen 2.5d model The layout is slightly too large to fit on an A4 page therefore it is done in 1:1.5 scale. Photographs - Light & Scale: I added the scaled person in through Photoshop. In order to create realistic shadows with the light shining through I duplicated the layer and adjusted the opacity to form the shadows.

1. 1:100 paper model of my room It looks messy as I had to join the parts with tape because I was not able to make a template on paper and perform the folding techniques due to the large scale. 2. 1:20 cardboard model of my room Generally cardboard is easier to work with as it has a stronger structure which makes it easier to glue together. I have also reduced the scale to 1:20 which allows me to layout a template to do the folding technique shown in the video tutorial. Folding Techniques: Simple spirals Basic pleats X-form spans New version of my room: I decided to use the models from the folding technique practice as parts of my room expansion because I really like the patterns the create. The layers in the simple spiral looks stairs as I stretched them. The cylinder shape that the x-form span could form became a roof for the room. And I used the basic pleats part of the interior.
