Week 6

Iteration 1: Wedge-shaped extension 

This improvement allows large amount of light to enter the room. Interior spatial conservation through reduced and streamlined storage space and a mezzanine bed. The model is also designed to be able to split into 3 parts for further fine adjustments.

Week 7

Iteration 2: Upgrade from Iteration 1

The inclusion of slanted arrow-shaped roofing that permeates light with tiny skylights. The roof is modelled to be removable to allow better scope of its interior.

The layout of the Fusion 360 2.5 D physical model, after careful planning.

Week 8

The inclusion of concrete and timber planks textures on Iteration 2 and the placement in a virtual environment. ( Savannah) 

The render of the Fusion 360 3D model of my stylised name with primarily Cherry tree textures.

Week 9

Iteration 4: Irregular beams model 

This model experiments with different interaction with the light. The model also experimented with corflute as a material.

Iteration 5: House model based on Iteration 1

This model explores the style of a house possessing major characteristics from the first iteration. The model is built with paper, plastic (takeaway containers), and cardboard. Aside from the distinct wedge extension, the rest of the facade also has tilted shades that allow control over the luminosity of the interiors.

The 8th model

The 5th iteration: House based on iteration 1

Material: Paper, plastic (takeaway box), cardboard

This design is a redesign of my entire townhouse using similar design features from iteration 1 improvement of my room. Iteration 1 is clearly seen on the top right part of the model, while the facade facing South have a series of angled shades to adjust the amount of light entering the house. 

There is a visible disturbance with the floors in the last image. It is a result of me attempting a different assembly method, using half lap joint to join the walls and floors. The walls and floors have also been reinforced with extra layers of paper to reduce its instability. However, it appears that the reinforcement might be too rigid and it caused the visible twist on the floor.

The 6th and 7th model

The 6th Model: Arc with triangular pattern

At different time of the day,  various patterns are shone on the wall from the openings at the roof.

Material: Paper

Scale: 1 to 20

The arc is made using folding techniques. The patterns are created by cutting the shapes when the paper is still folded. The smaller awning is a quarter the size of the large curved surface. There is also a folding door and a small balcony. 

The 7th Model: Irregular beam roofing 

Material: Corflute
Scale: 1 to 20

In this design, the roof is in an irregular shape with beams across each elevation. The gaps in between consist of transparent material that allows varying patterns reflected in the room at different times of the day. The window is also replaced by a series of thin, tilted columns that can be adjusted to control sunlight exposure in the room.

Week 8 work

Textures on Fusion 360

Update on the fusion model: the "K" from last week's blog looks too much like a "L", so the plan is altered and a new shape was produced and used in the following images.

Material combination 1:  mirror, carbon fibre, and rubber (weathered)
Similar to a mirror, I often reflect upon my actions and ideas to seek improvements, while staying flexible, like rubber, and open on all potential options.

Material combination 2: Oak, Cherry, and Acetal Resin (white)
I have a personal preference for timber as they possess an ambiance of tranquility and nature.

Material combination 3: Leather - Matte (red), Pine
The soft and tender leather and the hard, solid pine represent my resolve and determination under my easy-going look.

Textures on photoshop

The first pair of images involves slated stones and PVC roofing. I chose the stones because I like the variation in its repetition pattern, as well as the strength and sturdiness it represents.  

The second pair of images involves concrete and vintage brown timber. The concrete is used to give out a sense of mass while the timber is used to alleviate the dull and heaviness in the structure.

The third pair of images consists of stone and wooden stripes. Similar to the previous image, the stone provides mass and solidity to the structure while the wooden stripes create an elegant array of patterns.

Week 7 Work

Stylised name in Fusion 360

This is the initial sketches for my initials, which are C, W, and K respectively from left to right. 

This image shows the first shape that was formed with loft, but this shape did not allow shelling. I followed Russel's suggestion and shifted the "C" sketch around.

This shape is formed after I shifted the sketch up and rotated it by about 50 degrees.

Finally, this shape enabled me to shell it and create a hollow shape that represents a stylised version of my initials.

Second iteration to my model 

This model is an upgrade to Iteration 1, reflected in a similar wedge-shaped extension at the front. The major improvement comes in the form of the slanted roof. Previously, it was a simple slanted plane, now it is slanted and arrow-shaped. The roof also have less exposure to light, replacing the large glass panel with small skylights. 

This model also uses cardboard as its primary material, which is sturdier than iteration 1. The spaghetti that was acting as the steel window frame is also replaced by wooden sticks.

For the functionality of the model, this model have a removable roof and back wall, which allow a better scope of the interiors and facilitated the following light interactions.
