Week 8: Final scaled model


ONGOING PROCESS

After creating 2.5D models and components using Fusion 360. I decided to use the skills and techniques I learnt following online tutorials to create a small card model which was laid out and planned using Fusion 360.

Before I began sketching and modelling in Fusion 360 I looked on Pinterest for ideas and inspiration.
Initial Fusion 360 concept model. I didn't like how large the model's layout was. This made me come to the decision to create a small model and experiment with how I could use the small space most effectively.

My 2nd concept model made using Fusion 360. A much tighter, smaller space which is the actual size of my room with wall height adjustments made to it.

To transfer this to a handmade model I used the align tool to create flat components which I could later print and cut out onto card. The model was scaled down to 1:50.
Creating a model using thin cardboard from Weet-Bix box and 200gsm white card.

Measuring out square to cut to create a window.

Adding another level, bed from paddle pop sticks and feature wall using thin string.

Final model. Consists of a swing, three levels, bed, stairs, feature wall, skylights and window.

 FINAL SCALED MODEL

Overall I had an aim to create a small model made from card and techniques used in Fusion 360. I wanted to show that a room can be small but can be planned out to make space become more effective and interesting. I created details using string and card to manipulate light throughout all the levels.

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,...
