BENV1010: Week 7

Week Seven:

The Fourth Model:

For this project I want to understand how my family interacts with the main living space. My fourth model I created Is made from wire and black string, I mapped out where my mom dad and sister walked the most and then wrapped it onto a wire frame.

The wire is hard to bend into the correct shape as it warps and takes on kinks.

I used a black string to convey movement through the space, the string helps convey where my family and I walk the most.

Findings:

The Frame made is clear to me that we moved centrally through the space, finding the shortest path highlighting our motion through this dynamic area.

The Fifth Model:

The task for this week is to see how light interacts with our chosen space, I modelled up the dining room using some cardboard I'd found. Cardboard is lot more rigid than card and paper, meaning you can glue it onto itself because of the thickness, I enjoyed working with this material as its very forgiving.

This is a cardboard model of my living space, I have only included the walls and Windows.

The Cardboard was a lot easier to cut, and craft. The rigidness compared to paper means that it holds its structure and is far less intricate to use as a material.

The Human Figure indicates scale, I have cut out the outline to produce a silhouette when light interacts with the model.

Light Interaction:

To see the way light interacted with my model I moved a desk lamp to the East (sunrise) and West (Sunset). I found that I could enhance my living space by adding a full size window to the left hand side, this allows the morning sunshine into the living space and gives the whole room a new breathe of life.
