First Cardboard Model

29/3/2020

My first cardboard model of my bedroom. Very experimental, as I had never built with cardboard before and did not have enough material to built it to 1:10 scale. To counter for this I built some paper furniture to ensure the viewer still got a sense of scale. I also experimented with using tape instead of glue, however it looks messy and ruins the illusion of scale, hence I didn't use it again.

A daytime shot of my 1:20 scale model featuring my bedroom, the study and a hallway. The roof is made of crumpled paper learnt from the folding techniques in week 5, aimed at representing a curved glass roof.

Transitional Space Model: Night

A night shot of my 1:20 scale model featuring my bedroom, the study and a hallway. The light shining through the roof gives a really interesting effect and represents how this house may look at night when only 1 room has the lights on.

Transitional Space Model: Interior

An interior shot of my 1:20 scale model taken inside the bedroom. The figure in the photo gives a good impression of scale in the project. Also the additional light source coming from behind the model creates quite a cool effect.

3D Model of Initials

The Fusion 360 model featuring my initials, J A R. Although it took some time to get the loft feature to work, it eventually produced an interesting looking 3D shape.

Artistic Render of Initials

The Fusion 360 model with textured rendering to represent my own design ideas. I like the combination of the organic wood material and reflective aluminium gives an interesting juxtaposition.

The final rendered model of my dream house. Similar to the initials, it uses a combination of organic materials such as wood and stone, along with industrial materials such as the roof and door frames. Its placed in a natural setting with trees to give a sense of scale to the project.
