Week 5: Paper Model

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

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 to keep this model simple yet still consist of clean and straight cuts. Even though I created another model I decided to submit this one as it is refined, to scale and has simple folding techniques and cuts to represent the room's features; mirrors and windows. I wanted to focus on the main shape of the model and ways to manipulate light and shadows with the window, therefore I left out the ceiling for this design. 

(All human models would be 170cm tall)

Light Movement

The door is able to act as a way to allow light to pass through the space.
