Background

The inspiration for these models came from the room where I have my PC set up, which is downstairs and to the rear of my house. It has one entrance, without a door, and incorporates two large windows, that are the height of the roof to the floor. These look out onto a short concrete outer surface, then the garden. Directly forwards are some large banksia and mint trees, on the left is a herb garden and to the far right is a fence and a 10 metre drop to the house below. Here are some pictures for reference, from left to right: The entrance to the room, the room taken from the entry, and the left window views. The dimensions are 3.5m wide (entrance - side wall), 2.4m high, and 4m long (back wall - base of windows). The windows protrude 1.3m out (perpendicular to the wall), and 2m wide.



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 illustrated. The techniques I used include crumpling (to show the windows), X-form spans (to create a stylised roof), and concertina folds to create a new entrance, that could be incorporated into a redesign.

The first two models were not to scale.




These models underneath are at a scale of 1:10, taken on a large benchtop with a light almost directly above.
