Model It Poster

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.

Chosen Media: 1.5mm Box Board

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.

Renderings

I chose to render my plan, elevation and perspective using varying grades of pencil. I believe pencil was more successful than using colour for this particular house as it shows light and dark. 
I chose to have the sun from the north east as it shows the light in the living, dining kitchen area from the expanses of glass on that particular facade.
