1:50 Fisher House Model

I chose to do the main model in Balsa wood for the obvious reason of how important timber is in the materiality of the house. 

I modeled the base in a Grey foam core board to resemble the stone foundations. I feel that no matter what material was used for the base, it just had to be significantly different from the balsa wood to portray the heavy material of the stone.

As seen in the images above, the roof and second floor are removable so the ground floor spaces can also be viewed.

Model it! Week 2 Task

Found object: Roll of transparent plastic

Barcelona Pavilion

I believed it was important to express the symmetry and reflectivity in this building, therefore I attempted to construct the model entirely out of balsa with the exception of a transparent film over the pools.
