This image is the fusion360 file of the result of the week 5 tutorial. It is disassembled in the picture, ready to be ported over to illustrator and laser cut. I believe it deserves to be in this curated blog as it shows my early fusion360 usage, and thus that I was learning rapidly from the online tutorials. The first model I made was this one on the right. While not being of questionable quality, it is nonetheless important to include in this blog as a point to reference all the other physical models, and document the improvements. My design process can clearly be seen to have worked when this model is compared with the later ones. It is not to scale. This is the third model I created, and the first one that took a fair amount of time. It is a creatively enhanced version of the room where I work, and is in 1:10 scale.

These photos are of my first, initial models, made in Week 5. I utilised many of the paper folding strategies we learned in the first online tutorial: as illus...
