Week 6&7: The Space Between


 ONGOING PROCESS

As part of the assessment, I created a connectable box which can be produced using the laser cutting machines in the maker space of UNSW. I wanted to offset certain links to make it have an interesting look. Overall this process of a simple and good way to learn how to navigate Fusion 360's interface. I took screenshots of varies steps of the process to document my experience.

FINAL CARD MODEL

Due to the current situation, we were unable to laser cut our Fusion 360 models. Therefore I was able to print the drawing and used tracing paper onto thin recycled cardboard to create a 3D object. I kept my design simple as that represents my models and spaces (using a simple structure to make an effective space inside).

I was unable go to the shop to purchase thicker materials, so instead, I needed to settle with think recycled cardboard from various of food packages.

(All human models would be 170cm tall)
1:70 scale 
(appropriate measurements on my room)

ONGOING PROCESS EXPERIENCING WITH DIFFERENT SHAPES AND FOLDING TECHNIQUES I made the decision to use skills learnt from online videos and websites and played around with creating folding modelling and a couple sketch models on my room. Folding and cutting  Folding and pinching FIRST SKETCH PAPER MODEL Folding different sized elements to show depth Cutting slots and lines to add the detail of the window. When used with light can show the window's ability to capture light and display interesting patterns on the floor. Using folding elements to make spaces between the wall and the ceiling to show the space in the room Adding slots for doorways to let in light from the corridor Preliminary sketches to document the size of the room and main features of the room. FINAL PAPER MODEL After creating my first paper sketch model I decided to refine my ideas to a simple, clean model which better represents my room. I wanted...

Week 7: Refined model

ONGOING PROCESS Overall I was inspired by modern, industrial-themed homes and living spaces which used simple colours and shades with a combination of natural landforms such as rock faces and trees.  Images which I used as inspiration for my designs. Week 6: TUE 24/03/2020 During this day I decided that I wanted to work with a range of different materials to show the consumer my desire of making a modern small living space with some complex details and simple details to add interesting features, textures and light sources. I began by purchases large paddle pop sticks to use as the floor. I decided to cut the ends of the sticks and laying them down on the flat surface. I decided to use packaging foam as the base as it's lightweight and stable to hold the entire model together. Week 6: WED 25/03/2020 During this day I worked on deciding which ceiling design I wanted in my final model. I wanted to create one which can direct light through its folds,...
