Conclusion (proving or disproving your thesis, it doesn’t matter which, be honest) BEDROOM EXPANSION (SPACE) AND VENTILATION By redesigning a simple bedroom space, it can provide both a healthy environment and experience for users. Alterations such as expanding, reshaping and implementing additional ventilation, can influence how a space is utilised and significantly improve the wellbeing of individual...

Bedroom 'Space & Ventilation' Idea Generation Sketches #1 #2   #3 #4 #5 Overall Evaluation: By rough sketching a few different ideas and playing with form, I discovered i liked the idea of having a two level room as one area can be dedicated to sleeping getting dressed etc, whereas the other can be used for as a space open to interpretation i.e. for studying, relaxing, a space to work out. Models Evaluation: Due to a limitation of materials and having only a very brief idea of where i wanted my idea to go, i made a brief model to just give me a relative idea of space, scale and what materials would best suit my idea and what i was comfortable working with. 

Fusion 360: 3D Shapes Initials A.R.T Evaluation: When choosing the materials for my initial 3D model, i played around with a lot of the shinier textures as i thought it 'popped' more and was more appealing to the eye. Originally i had put copper polished as the exterior, a light blue tint glass for the interior of the shell and had the environment/highlight as warm light. However, after testing a few different materials, i found 'palladium polished' and thought it brought out a more metallic appearance which i thought would contrast really well with gold, hence choosing to change the interior of the shell to gold. I also changed the environment to be the plaza so it was more reflective. It also added an interesting blue-ish tint to the model and a cool picture reflection inside where the gold is. 

Iterative Model  Scale - 1:100 Evaluation: With this weeks model, I had iterated the design by expanding open the space, adding a large translucent window and a translucent window strip so more light could enter the room. I also had modified the base shape of the model to be more square, but still retain a similar triangular-like form. Fusion 360: 2.5D Model Evaluation: This model comprises of three different rectangular prisms, on 2 different levels. I had quite a lot of difficulty with Fusion as I had joins and cuts that didn't line up perfectly, as well as had some trouble when adding the third rectangular prism to the shape. Fusion Paper Model  Evaluation: I personally disliked this task as I don't often model with paper. I had also scaled the model incorrectly and the bottom rectangular prism couldn't exactly withhold the weight of the other two shapes. I also struggled with the tabs and glueing sometimes joins w...

Model Making Activities 1:100 Room Model Paper Folding Techniques Masu Box Evaluation : I personally really enjoyed making this shape. The demonstration was relatively easy to understand and the shape looks quite complex although it was simple to construct. V-Pleats Evaluation: At first glance and given how simple the folds were for this model - I wasn't expecting the end result to turn out this aesthetic. I also enjoyed learning what a 'mountain' and 'valley' fold were. X-Form Spans Evaluation: This shape was a lot of fun to play and experiment with. Originally in the demonstration, there was only one box constructed but i felt i could do more with two x-form spans and combine them in a way that enhances the shape.  UNSW - Paper and Card Modelling Techniques  Evaluation: This model was constructed following the UNSW video provided about paper and card modelling techniques. This technique involves sc...
