FABRICATION 1   CENOTAPH TO NEWTON  All documentation can be viewed via the following film:  FABRICATION 2  CASA OCHEQUEBRADOS  All documentation can be viewed via the following film:  FABRICATION 3  CASTELVECCHIO MUSEUM - HANDRAIL DETAIL  All documentation can be viewed via the following film: FINAL REFLECTIONS  All three fabrications demonstrate processes with various components and types of techniques pertaining to traditional and contemporary methods. As I am in the first year of the Masters course, I took the opportunity for this subject to inspire the creation of models that deviate from the typical 'cookie cutter' style, hence these three  model s are quite unique to the usual production of architectural models. With that being said, they are probably not the style of model that would be replicated for studio use, yet the variation of techniques explored in eac...

CASTELVECCHIO MUSEUM  1:1 DETAIL HANDRAIL - CARLO SCARPA  This detail model explores the intricacy in combination of various components. It pays homage to the artistry of Carlo Scarpa, who celebrated the mechanisms of simple facilitory elements with exaggerated detailing.  PRECEDENT IMAGE  PRECEDENT IMAGE   INITIAL SKETCH   ACRYLIC DETAIL ONLY  Scale 1:1  Materials: -Portland Oregon Timber  -Tallowwood  - Clear Acrylic  - Stainless Steel  - Brass  Techniques:  - Timber joinery - Laser Cutting -Welding - Metalwork  - Wooden Lathe 

CASA OCHEQUEBRADOS  1:500 TOPOGRAPHIC MODEL- ELEMENTAL  This model celebrates the role architecture plays as an object in landscape. Rigid geometries are contrasted with the rough and jaggered topography and texture and shadow is explored. The communication method of 'floating' the topography is intended to focus specifically onto the nature of the landscape 'holding' the  architecture, as it barely touches the earth.  PRECEDENT IMAGE PRECEDENT IMAGE PRECEDENT IMAGE ORIGINAL SKETCH  Scale 1:500  Materials - Stainless steel mesh - Tallowood Timber - Blue Modelling Foam - Stainless Steel rods  Techniques   - CNC cutting (blue foam toposurface)  - Hand forming mesh  - 3D printing  - Timber laminating 

CENOTAPH TO NEWTON  1:500 SECTIONAL MODEL - ETIENNE LOUIS BOULLEE  This sectional model conveys qualities of material and texturality, the of surfaces capturing light and reflection.  Celebrated in these geometries is symmetry, mathematic formulation and materiality. As evident, this fabrication captures sensory  qualities   quite well, however the detail does not express the monumentality of the precedent as one would intend.  Scale 1:500  Materials  - Hydrocal Plaster  -Blue Foam -Acetate  - Copper  Technique  - Wooden lathe (blue foam) - Vac forming  -Casting  -Metal shaping  -Metal work / welding
