Class starts at 14h00 today as we discussed on Friday. You should be working on three formal foam models for your Final Critique on Tuesday. These three models include concepts discussed on Friday and ideas you have been working through these past two weeks. We are looking for excellent craft and clear intentions in these models. All three models should have integrated access to the old underground sewer and thus a subterranean access to the Archeology Museum. You should also be progressing with a cross section, a transverse section, a planar section, and an isometric (all angles adding up to 120) all completed at the scale of your models. Use construction lines and many lineweights in these drawings, they will be beautiful if you do.
The second part of the assignment includes three folded surface models of your three final formal models, that is a total of 9 surface models. Folded surface models are constructed out of one piece of one-ply museum board, the scale here stays the same and the size of the paper is not regulated. You will have to do lots of experimentation with the size of the paper and the material itself. Your operations for these models may include folding, bending, scoring, cutting, tucking, pleating, etc... These models should take ideas from each formal model and explore the notion of surface within these concepts. Take ideas and concepts you have been talking about this semester and really investigate their potential.
At the beginning of this post there are four examples of folded surface models. Each one is very different and yours should be inspired by your formal models and concepts not from the techniques used in the samples above.
