Week 5/6

For this week, We were tasked with having to do models of our living space. This task was quite difficult, seeing as we had to make a 1:10 model of our rooms out of not only cardboard, but of paper as well. First, I had went through the paper folding exercises found online and had gone through each one to get familiar with using the material, before I started making the models. I had found it hard to keep my paper model upright because of the scale, no matter how I tried to reinforce it. The cardboard model was quite easy to create in comparison, but I had to improvise and use cereal boxes to make it, which didn’t make it turn out as appealing as I’d like.

                                                       

                                                   

With how large the scale was, for my final model I decided to scale it down to 1:20 to make it easier to work with. I'd also run out of cardboard by then, so I decided to use balsa wood for one model and some boxboard and paper for another, to show the small changes I'd make to my living space. I didn't know how far I could take it, so I made small changes for now that signify where I want to go with my design.

The Fusion 360 online tutorial was easily understandable, so I didn’t have many problems with the activity. I had based the model after the hallway I have in my house, as well as the front entrance for a more challenging shape.
