All nighter galore.

Progress on the model so far..

In light of not sleeping the , my one cut wonder didn't work out so well...still missing some minor pieces. guess i will have to improvise!

The all nighter essentials....

and last but not least...... our last all-nighter together of undergrad here in the lab. we all look so grown up tired haha

Model Building

Here are a few images of my model building process for Project 4B.

Image 1. Pieces to build "egg-crate" framing for model.

Image 2. Symbols given to bracing/ support pieces to help organize the assembly process.

Image 3. Assembly of profiles and bracing/ support pieces.
Image 4. Assembly of both forms in section.
Image 5. Completed framing system with exterior finishes (wood veneer) applied.
Image 6. Though nothing oggle over, a look at the pool in the sectional model with a slight shadow of the "frit" applied to the glazing.

Project 4 Physical Model

Spent today working in the shop and will continue on with my physical model tonight. In contrast to Mike's method of model-making, I have approached my model with 2D drawings. A printout helps me get a sense of the scale of my overall model. The end product will be a full building section at 1:100 cutting through areas that showcase the materiality used on the Cirque facility.

Physical Model - Prep

Ive been working on my laser files for tomorrow morning. I like to approach models by creating a 3D model of my scale model according to the sizes of materials avaliable in the shop. This helps with getting the laser files together as well as having a reference avaliable when your assembling the model. It helps with knowing if your model won't work without wasting time once things are cut.

Physical Model - Question

Good morning all..

I'm assuming most of you are still up and I had a quick question to ask regarding the model submission... Since my laser cutting time is Wednesday especially.

What is preferred... a sectional model of the entire building, or a sectional cut of a portion of the building. Let's say its a 1/4 of the building that is a featured element.

Is either or acceptable? According to the brief I believe it's entirely up to the designer's discretion.

Would like to hear everyone's thoughts.

Thanks
