Week 3, Project 1 - Negotiating The Void

Here are my 3 charettes for tuesday.
The model in the foreground was designed to show balance. I used sticks and wire and made 3 supports which support the two horizontal sticks. I basically just made it and balance came to me later through the construction.
The one with the X through the middle was my symmetry model. It was fairly basic but it did the job.
The last model was my asymmetric model which was basically made out of all the left over off cuts and sticks. I felt it was most interesting as it forms many shapes depending on how you stand it up or flip it over. It is kind of abstract which makes it more interesting compared to the other two models.

Here is my wooden model based on the spaces found within the acetate model. I feel i have made quite an interesting model that seems to resemble a plane crossed with a house. It is quiet and interesting design the creates a lot of space. I like how the curved areas contrast with the rest of the linear shape to make it a little more aesthetically pleasing. I may add some more to it later on in the week.

This is my wire model. I tried looking at my
acetate model from a different angle to try get a different perspective on my contour drawing and this is what i came up with.

This is my developed wire model. I Have changed a lot in this deign.

I have tried to show the geometric limitations of my acetate model without deliberately making the shape of the cube. I have been trying to bend my shape in such a way that you can still see the cube using the interior space.

This is my paper model. Again i was just trying to create space using the contour lines on my acetate model to create this shape. I find this design quite interesting.

This is my revised paper model.
I have been trying to create the space inside the void while also showing the primitive limits of my acetate model. I have been trying to show the boundaries without using a plain flat edge. I have been using other shapes to try bring it out.

This week I have learn't the process of how to make something two dimensional and effectively make it into multiple 3 dimensional objects. As well as looking at, and creating space I have now gained practice using wire and wood.
