Model-It! Week 1 - Studio

Task: to construct two houses, one from balsa wood, the other from boxboard, with base dimensions approximately 80 x 80 mm
One side of the roof has yet to be placed. The other house was similarly made, however I made cuts for windows on the walls and the roof.



Task: to creatively combine the two 'houses' made in Week 1 Studio


I wanted to show the differences in materials used to make each house. At first I thought it would be interesting to place the heavier house made from boxboard above, but I couldn't make it stable, while giving it a sense of weightlessness.


From this angle, the gap between the houses emphasise materiality differences, yet the ladder connects the repetitive form.
