house 2: kate moss - sketchup

Applying knowledge from both these architectural ideas I created a "folded plate" style case which used a repeating form. This same form was then repeated multiple times to create the building framework. I then had the idea to remove the floor plate and have the building hung from fishing wire, perched on a tall stand and have objects below and above the invisible "ground plane" to give an impression of where it is.

looking at deconstructivism  with the work of Gordon Matta-Clark.

Looking at pushing what I learnt about modelling folded plate buildings from the first assignment, and pushing it further in this design.

house 1: miranda kerr - final model

house 1: miranda kerr - blue foam disaster?

I cut out all the blue foam triangular pieces. And planned on spray painting them to make them white.

What I didn't consider was that the spray paint may cause the blue foam to melt away. This left really dynamic forms which I now really like and will use these in the final model.
