Our first ever ARCH 1142 studio introduced us to model making and how models are three dimensional representations of structures, built to communicate design ideas and concepts. Sean and Matthias our tutors took us through basic model making skills such as cutting, gluing and material selection. We were required to build three houses with base dimensions 80mm by 80mm and with the three houses we then were required to fuse them together to produce a single model.
This class task was a complete shock to me, I had never built a model or worked with balsa wood to build anything so throughout the class i was lost. As i worked my way through the houses I slowly did grasp ideas of how to build models and simple techniques such as how to cut, how much glue to use/the best type of glue to use and how to use balsa wood effectively. Although my final model was a fail in epic proportions the in class task in hindsight was a good learning experience, but i did feel defeated after the class.
