Model Making-Representations

Petite Ecole, MOS Architects, Study

As part of a course, we were a given a design project to study. The goal was to understand the construction of it through drawings and model-making.

The project I studied was ‘Petite Ecole’ by MOS Architects. We were supposed to understand the construction methods and details -reflecting the construction with precision in the physical models.

This was my model for the ‘Petite Ecole’ project that was originally made using 688 aluminium pieces (which were modelled, flattened, cut, folded, pre-fabricated and assembled on site). In my model , the aluminium sheets are replicated with the enhanced folds that brace the element to hold the building.

Masonry Research Institute-12th and Vine

The project revolved around constructing a MASONRY Research Institute -with the site in Cincinnati Downtown, Ohio. The architecture and the interior of the design should reflect the art of construction alongwith ‘masonry’ as one of the building material. I used metal alongside masonry for the design. With the exterior covering of masonry -the inside stands out with custom designed ‘metal structural elements and junctions’. The sectional perspective highlights the art of construction and shows the aesthetics with realistic render quality.
