Arch 1142 communications: Drawing

In class task 1, I found this particularly difficult, to be able to visualise how the plans would look, as my first model from 'model it' was very unusual. This challenged my way of thinking in relation to drawing plans, i felt it was a good exercise for my mind.

model making: fisher house model

This model should of been the best model ive made all session, however i was extremely disappointed at my model. Mainly because i had underestimated how long a 1:50 model would take, there were parts of the model i felt worked but on a whole it really wasn't the model i wished to have made, or the model i knew i could of done. It taught me that i should manage my time better.
This program has also improved my knowledge with scale, initially at the start i had no clue at all, but after each model i began to get it much more.
On the whole its given me a good introduction to model making, ive come to learn that uhu glue is much better (in my opinion) then pva glue. As well as how ideas can be expressed through models, in relation to material choice and the way we present and make them.

model making: in class task 3

I actually never managed to finish this task in class, this should of been my first hint that 1:50 models are much more time consuming, which i soon found out for my next assignment.
This task showed that we don't always have to model the entire building, that we can model certain parts which have interesting ideas, ideas that we want to illustrate.

Model making: Fisher house site model

The site model, i learnt that although sandpapering make it appear smoother, i should always be careful im not sanding off to much. Also that polystyrene balls draw to much attention as trees.

model making: In class task 2

This in class task was very interesting and i felt like it was a great way to just model make, i loved how there was no restrictions to what we could do.
These images show a gradual change between the 3 models i made in class, where the idea slowly developed each time.

model making: Barcelona pavilion

The Barcelona pavilion, the first model assignment we did. I found that pva glue was extremely annoying to use. It dried incredibly slow and made model making extremely difficult.
Also I found out the risks of apply to much glue, and a little goes along way.
After this model i began to use uhu glue, which i felt worked much better for me.

Arch 1142 communications: model making

First in class task, basic model making task, which was a good introduction into model making.
