BENV1010 WEEK 5: model making

PAPER

my workspace, 1:100, 25 mins

- need to work at smaller scale so edges can hold shape

- creases can be made easily by folding or scoring with a pointed tip

- can be cut easily with one stroke and little pressure

- need tabs to connect edges

CARDBOARD (1mm)

template before gluing. no tabs required

my workspace, 1:50, 20 mins

- very rigid,  need to work at larger scale so folds can be made

- creases are made by scoring both sides with scapel

- need to score first before cutting to ensure clean cut, harder to be precise

- edges can be glued together without tabs

FOLDING TECHNIQUES

MY IDEAL WORKSPACE

planning in my sketchbook

my ideal workspace, 1:50, 45 mins
0.5mm card, trace, postcard
featuring a multi directional folding door to seperate sleeping, working and exercise areas.

- 0.5mm card (from an old exercise book) I found to be the ideal material for working at this scale

- easy to cut and fold while still rigid

- trace was used as a translucent material for curtains and folding door.
