Week 9 - Draft Submission - 3 Min Presentation
Self-Reflection BENV1010 - Draft
This presentation aims to critique the work and progress
ranging from Week 5 to today.
Diving straight into Week 5 and 6, the first iteration of
the paper and cardboard model was constructed. Although being just a draft,
these two models acted as a profile/standard that my future models was be based
upon. That is, in the direction of forming the simplistic and conveying with
minimalism. Simple folding techniques were utilised, however, as seen from the
images, connections between paper and paper, cardboard to cardboard were rough
and coarse. Moreover, sticky tape can be clearly identified within the images,
reducing the quality of both the model and the images.
Due to the paper cardboard becoming flimsy due to large
scale areas, there was a reduction in scale, as seen in the Iterative Model,
Week 7, where a new scale of 1:20 was incorporated. Coupled together with a
human figure within the models, it further simplified the process of verifying
the scale. Although extra care was taken in the construction process of this
model, defects such as these (refer to slide) was evident. Even so, having read
into the Paul Jackson folding book – and videos – there were new implementation
of unique folding and cutting techniques. Ideally, this would enhance the
overall figure of the model, as can be seen in the application of
manmade light and an inbuilt ladder.
Yet, considering the studio activities before week 5, the
interaction with nature sparked the idea of incorporating an element of nature in
the model. Although this could not be achieved physically in the construction
process, the week 8 photoshop studio allowed the harmonization between man and nature,
that is, natural elements in the designed model. Taking examples of fine wood
textures, coupled with the use of calm colours, evokes a sense of flow within the
model, as well as bestowing ‘life’ within. However, the task of creating a
realistic ‘render’ of the images was not executed where the finalized textured
images conveyed a touch of poetic sensation rather than realistic.
Although this was a successful attempt in Fusion 360, the
initial physical model was only satisfactory. There were major errors in my
attempt to generate the net of the Fusion box where missing flaps and
inaccurate line readings ultimately caused an incomplete box. The illustrated
flaws were studied carefully, and the final construction was complete.
Diving deeper into these two images, the photography itself produced
a sense of confinement which acts as a vehicle for the audience to view the
model as if standing from within, or in this case, looking through a small hole
or window.
Overall, there are several aspects that I can improve on in future
model making tasks, coming in both creativity and physical model making skills.

Week 9 - Draft Submission - 5 Models V2
Week 9 - Draft Submission - 100 Word Statement V2
Although architecture involves complex dynamics and geometry,
it has developed to allow for harmonization between nature and the manmade. Through
a series of models, I was able to denote and illustrate the significance of nature
within my models. The utilization of a constant theme, “wood,” conveyed through
the photoshopped images, bestowed upon the room with a touch of “life”. This
idea further evoked a sense of flow and interaction within the modelled room,
where the grain fibres of the wooden walls/furniture demonstrated directional movement,
again, perpetuating the significant role nature plays within architecture.
Hence, through critiquing the final photoshopped images, it is evident that the
natural harmonizing with the manmade further evolves architecture to a higher
level.

Assessment 3 – Developing Your Style
Architecture has allowed us to approach design in a
quasi-philosophical manner, allowing for harmonization between the natural and
manmade. Through a series of modelling tasks, I was able to denote the importance
of natural lighting and a light source when processing the modeled images. The
natural light source established in the models bestowed the room with ‘life,’
such that it merged with the natural surroundings and gave feedback (shadows). Another
significant case of this theory was the introduction of a night light source,
where it proved to fabricate the model in a unique manner. Hence, by critiquing
the final images, the introduction and harmonization of different lightings is
significant.
