ARCH1142 - Workshop3: Material modeling workshop

Material modelling is obviously about using different materials to make models. In this workshop, I have explored the usage mountboard, wire, balsa and other materials to express some ideas through different models.



This is the first model I made after reading the given notes.
I create this model based on the word 'Fold' and I try to illustrate different folding or bending movements and shapes with some strips of white mountboard.



The main theme of the second model is 'City, Space, People'. I have walked around the Sydney City and found some inspirations. I have found that there are combinations of old and modern buildings inside the city. I want to express the idea of transformation through this model.



This is the final presentation of workshop3. I have chosen the word 'construction' for the main theme of my model. I am inspired by those heavy construction equipments and try to show the space created by different grids made by balsa wood.

ARCH1142 - Workshop6: Storyboarding interior architectural spaces

This storyboarding workshop is basically based on the idea of sequence. Through different prespectives or angles, we are able to discover the space and the design of a building.


Week 1:
This is an introductory section that we have watched the classic film, Hitchcock's 'Birds', to discover how those professionals showing the correlating sequences in films, and hence take this idea of presentation in the following weeks of the workshop.

Week 2:
We are asked to draw a sequence of images to tell our own story without a word.


Week 3:
Taking the same idea from last week, we are told to draw the Red Centre in UNSW of our own perception of spaces.

Week 4:
This is a final submission after our exploration of the Law Building in UNSW with a sequence of images.
