Fabrication

An "imaginative room" is not purely developed by one's ideas. It is manifestation of an individual's understanding of spatial experiences, which is developed through exposure to other ideas. The exploration of materials and techniques can enhance one's understanding of varying spatial experiences. Structure is first present in the form of experimental studies and can present a certain idea. However, form shouldn't completely dictate the outcome of the design, nor determine the meaning of the spaces, as that is no longer one's "imaginative room". Therefore, through the thorough understanding of the plethora of possibilities created by these materials, one can fabricate a form in accordance to their ideas. The designer is not purely dictated by the process of experimentation,  but utilise it to generate new ideas and create something from their own imagination.

Week 7: Model Making

Week 7: Fusion 360 (Loft & Shell)

Task:

We were required to experiment with the loft and shell tools with our initials. 

Critique: 

The curves are slightly awkward due to the type of letters and the drastic change from a larger surface area to a smaller on (e.g. M > J) I  have played around with moving the shapes in different angles, but that seems to make the issue worse - to the point where it no longer lets me do the shell tool (similar to Russell's issue in his video tutorial)

The thicknesses aren't also consistent, as you can see in the 2 elevations (2 final photos)

Editing Software: Adobe Lightroom

 

Week 6: Model Making (Process)

Task: We were required to create a physical handmade model of the digital model we made using  FUSION 360. From the examples, Russell was able to create a single net. With this model, I created 3-4 nets. I printed the Fusion 360 Model laser cutting file so I can record.  the dimensions. 

Scale: 1:1

• Material: The material is a thin piece of card with a matte finish, which is a way better material than the first sets of models which I made with paper. 
• Issues: It does not stand. This does not matter for this task, as this task was to replicate the digital model.
