INITIAL MODEL DESIGNS Model 1:
This model focuses on using the elements to create one large central space, with a small open space above. From the rear (Left image) the model looks messy and is difficult to understand, I believe this is because of the use of putting multiple elements over one another. However from the side (Centre image) the model looks very neat and can be easily understood. Furthermore, from above (Right image) the model is very difficult to understand and looks very messy, again I believe this is because many elements have been placed over one another also because some elements have their sides exposed. Overall, I dislike this model due to it being so unorganised and not very practical. From this model I can take away a few things, the slanted ‘roof’ could be further adapted to cover the above space, possibility of layering a few elements to give the model some depth. This would allow for some of the elements to be used else where. In addition, this model is very rectangular and doesn’t really have its own character.
INITIAL MODEL DESIGNS Model 2:
This model focuses on creating many separate spaces, these spaces vary with heigh, size and surroundings. From above (Right image) you can clearly see the separate spaces that have been created. In addition you can also see the different shapes that have been created by the outer elements of the model. From the rear (Centre image) of the model you can see how the model has an addition layer and also how some elements have been used in order to create a fan shape that starts from the ground and separates a part of the model. The left side (Right image) shows how an element has been used in order to create curved section. Overall, I like this model as it has lots of variation in shape, and the design is simple and clean looking. From this model I can take away a few things like how elements can be used to create curves which add shape to the model. Also how elements can be combined to create interesting shapes.
INITIAL MODEL DESIGNS Model 3:
This model focuses on using the elements to create different shapes for ‘roofs’ whilst also creating an open and closed space. The image on the left shows how you can layer multiple elements to create a unique slant, this design would not be practical as it only covers a small space. Furthermore, you can also see the separation between the enclosed and open space. Multiple elements have been used to build the front of the model. The centre image shows how you can use larger elements in order to cover a larger space. This creates a shape that looks very clean and practical. The image on the right shows how the two ‘roof’ spaces are different. The layered roof stays mostly flat and covers little space however the ‘roof’ that uses larger elements. This also shows the height difference between the two. Overall, this is a good model for experimentation however practically it is not. This is because there is very little space and the front is very messy and hardly makes sense.
INITIAL MODEL DESIGNS Model 4:
This model focuses on creating two separate indoor spaces and an ‘antenna’ like feature. The image on the left shows the ‘antenna’ feature, this has been created using a variety of different elements. From the model the elements used look random. From this image you can also see the rear of one of the spaces. The centre image shows the two interior spaces, the spaces use a variety of random elements in order to work. The image on the right shows the model from above, from this we can see the make up of the ‘roofs’ and also some of the make up of the ‘antenna’ feature. Overall, I dislike this model because it has little to no character and the design is very random and messy.
INITIAL MODEL DESIGNS Model 5:
This model focuses on creating different spaces using a variety of different shapes. The front (Right image) of the model shows the use of a curved element in order to create an ‘entrance’. Also some elements have been used to create a ‘roof’ (not shown on image). The rear left side (Centre image) shows multiple elements used to create the outer edge of the model. The rear uses large flat elements to build ‘walls’, this space has a ‘roof’ that uses rectangular elements. The left side has a element that branches. From this image you can also see how the centre space has no ‘roof’ this is create a variety of spaces. The rear right (Left image) of the model uses an element in order to create a small space on the outside of the model. From this angle you can also see the ‘roof’ of both the rear corner and the entrance located on the front of the model in further detail. Overall, I like this model because it uses a variety of different spaces, shapes and heights. This is my favourite of the five models due to its variety.
