Using this unrestricted guideline we were able to experiment with ideas such as
- positive and negative space
- designing outside the 'box' - exploring options for creating a model which exists not in a typical building like structures (as in week one's box houses)
- creating free angles and different viewpoints (not just sitting on a base but as a free structure)
harnessing this newfound source of freedom we were able to further our understanding of balsa wood and also improve our abitilt to achieve clean neat edges
Model One:
The edges were joined in a series (one after another) to achieve a clean edge between each individual piece.
The pieces fitted next to eachother also helps prop the pieces up until the PVA glue set
one of the earlier ideas mentioned earlier about the negative spaces is shown here
Model Two:
These Pictures depict a process which i went through to ensure all the joints of the 'pitched roof' matched up with eachother's edges
Model Three:
Take Home Task:
I constructed the Fisher House at a 1:200 scale, with the site context
I aproached the task by scaling the site plan and house plane to the required 1:200 scale. Then using this as a form of template i began by constructing the house.
Using the same approach I cut every section of terrain and layered the subsequent pieces on top on on another
by etching a notch on the each piece to symbolise where the next piece sits i was able to accurately place each piece
I was able to represent the house and driveway accurately by leaving a hole where the house is to sit in and where the driveway is.
Finally, to reiterate the importance of the context, the addition of trees and the creek completed the model
This exercise teaches the importance both in the site and context of a building, and also in constructing the site itself. The added detail of the lake, trees and ever a driveway emphasises the heavy role which site plays on a building.
