Week 7: Light and Scale

At Home Studio Activities:

1: Iterative Model with an additional source of natural light at a new scale

Model 1: Existing model from week 6

 Applying the human figure in the room:

I applied this human figure into the room room and took photos of it in different areas of the model to show the scale of the room. I used a bright coloured cardboard material to add colour into the space as well as make the figure stand out to emphasise the scale of the room. I took pictures of the figure in many different angles and from different positions to compare the size of the figure to the size of the model and the furniture within it.



Applying light the model:

I took photos using different lights to show many different aspects of my room.

Firstly I put the light source within the room to show what the model looks light at night with lights within the model.


Next I placed the model outside the different windows to show how the light affects the space. I noticed that it made different shapes on the ground and when the light was only placed on one side of the wall it made the other space darker.






Model 2: New model at 1:30

I decided to make my new model quite differently through using a different material, adding levels and using a scale of 1:30. I decided to change my material to cardboard as I found it much easier to use, allowing for a greater support during the creation of my model. I also added levels to my model in order to further create an ideal room, where these levels are connected by 'floating stairs'. I decided to use multiple windows and made them bigger to allow natural light in and make the space look bigger. Lastly, I added a garden at the bottom of my model to connect my model with the environment and increase the aesthetics of it. 






Including the human figure:

I took many photos of my model with the human figure in different places as well as taking it at different angles. 

This long shot compares the size of the human figure to the space around it, showing the scale that I am working at. 

The shot is taken from the entrance of the room at the stairs, showing the figure standing at the desk to show the scale of the bedroom alone in comparison to the figure as well as the different activities that can me undertaken in the threshold. 

This shot is taken on the second level of the model, showing the figure standing in the available space. This shot shows scale.





Photos using different lights:

I took photos using different lights to show many different aspects of my room.

Firstly I put the light source within the room to show what the model looks light at night with lights within each threshold.



I also took pictures coming from particular windows in each threshold to show how the light placed in one room affect the other levels. I also applied the light source at different angles to show how the placement of the sun effects the rooms in different times of day.

Week 5: Model Makes; Types of Models & Why We Use Them

Image
At Home Studio Activities:  Activity 1: Creating a Model of My Home Space  This activity consisted of creating a 3D model of my space at home where I work, which is my bedroom. The activity required me to measure my room so that I can create my space at a 1:10 scale. I then drew a plan of my space on paper including little tabs to allow me to fold and stick the walls together. After I finished the plan, I cut it out using the tools in my tool kit shown below and folded the paper plan and stuck it together. After I did a paper plan of my room, I did the exact same model but with cardboard material from my home, requiring me to use other tools from my kit also shown below in order to make the model.  Photos of the Space I was working with: Photo of my drawn plan: Tools used: Plan cut out: Finished Product: Tools used to make cardboard model: Finished product of cardboard model: Comparison of both materia...

Week 6: Getting Feedback and Improving my Models

Image
Teams Tutorials: This weeks work consisted of a tutorial on Microsoft Teams with my tutor to show her my models and talk about my progress. This tutorial gave me an opportunity to get feedback about my models as well as compare my model with other classmates. At the end of the tutorial, I then used the feedback from Danielah to improve my model.  "Your next step is to improve, add and change elements of your room to make it the ideal room. Be as creative as you want when you do this. You will use the folding and model making techniques that you have learnt in order to alter the elements of your room"  From receiving this feedback, I decided to take the tips I got from the "folding techniques" videos to create my ceiling within my 'ideal room'. I took my inspiration specifically from the "dividing the paper" tutorial (video 1) to create my ceiling. I then also expanded on my model to create an outside area of my room as well as stairs. ...
