Curated Blog Post:

Sketchup Model:

I created this SketchUp model in order to get a better understanding of my model in terms of window placement options and how that would lead to temperature changes.

Model 4:

Idea Revaluation:

I felt as though the box form was too boring, so I ventured into triangular forms to create more depth and interest.

Model 5:

For the last model, I took particular care of my photograph techniques and edited the background in photoshop.

Photoshop Renderings:

This activity allowed me to explore material combinations that would reflect heat and keep the room cool throughout the day.

Model Making:

This iterated model is in a 1:20 scale in order to get a better understanding of the physical elements. This model features a new light source with a moveable screen for privacy while studying and removes the previous window as it faces north and heats up my room in the mornings. Also, the model is doubled in floor space in order to accommodate a basketball hoop which allows for some physical activity, especially during these times.

Reflection:

The hoop in the initial models is not really functional as there is no height for the hoop to be placed. In the new sketched plan, the addition of a mezzanine level allows for an increase in height which will allow for the hoop to be better useable.This mezzanine floor will house the study space with the now cleared area containing a tv and console sets.

Week 5-6

Model Making:

These initial models were made with a 1:5 scale in order to focus on an understanding of material properties. The cardboard felt more sold and could hold its form better whereas the paper was a lot easier to model and shape smoothly.
