Sketch Model:
Producing a sketch model is incredibly important in understanding the main features of the building as well as acknowledging the amount of space available. It also enables me to place the specific rooms for the interior in the correct places alongside understanding scales and measurements in more depth. I used cardboard to construct my first sketch model, this is a very good material as it can easily be cut using a scalpel which allows me to obtain crisp edges for the building. Once all the components where cut out I assembled them using a glue gun, this was the easiest way to attach the cardboard to each other and also took the least time. I believe that I am starting to understand how to produce successful models for my projects as I can efficiently identify the correct scales to use in order to create an accurate model. However, I do think that I need to practise this more frequently in order to truly understand how to successfully produce a model to a high standard and quality.
Technical Drawings:
Alongside model making I have been developing my 3D sketches and technical drawings. I find sketching the easiest way to present my ideas, completing a-level product design has enabled me to create neat and accurate sketches which allow me ideas to be easily understood. After my review on Monday I have decided to continue developing my sketches as my design has recently been adapted, by improving the structure I can produce not only a better interior space but a more efficient architectural structure. I have also been designing the features I would like to be placed within the interior space by drawing them, these can then easily be sketched into sketch up. They can then be placed into the 3d model I have created on sketch up. I have really enjoyed this project so far as I have been able to express my own unique style into the building, this has been incredibly exciting. I would like to improve my skills in model making as well as technical drawing to ensure that I am equipped with the best skills required to become an interior designer.
