FINAL ASSIGNMENT- material Modelling


The final assignment for material modelling was based on taking one of the exercises that we did in one of the previous weeks and exploring it further using an intergration of a poster which explored balsa wood techniques along with either sketching or photos, and a model which was completed in class.


This poster shows all the sketches I did based on the word 'destruction' and how they potentially express different ideas about how destruction can be represented. One may view destruction as one form incroaching or destroying another, as something which is happening in the moment like an explosion or in terms of what happens after the destruction has occured, the effect or aftermath.


In my experimental balsawood model I decided To use just two of my destruction sketches in conjunction with the balsa to explore the idea of destruction, and try to integrate the two mediums. This poster to me is interesting because it could potentially be both a plan view or idea of destruction or an elevation of sorts.






The model I did in class explored the idea that destruction is something which is time based, and each stage of destruction can express a different sense of space and evoke unique emotions. So I decided to show this very simply by creating 3 cubes, each in a stage of destruction. While the first cube is relatively in tact the second and third show further disintegration.
