Beautiful model

This project is about creating a beautiful object or series of beautiful objects. I basically went to a place in the Lea valley by Tottenham hale and was told to think of an abstract way of describing what you see but it has to be a beautiful model. So I decided to look at the ways in which the landscape changes which was from rough to clean and tidy. To illustrate this into a model I decided to carve out lots of small cubes and arrange them on a glass square to represent the water. The cubes were then individually sculpted from wood to create a rough to neat finish.

Green Piece Project

This project was based on a competition designed by Green Peace in order to tackle the problem of a possible new runway at Heathrow. The idea was to create a landscape that would enable activists to stay on site for numerous days and weeks and be self sustained. It would also need to have a security aspect so that people like the police and riot officers cannot penetrate the base. My idea was quite simple; create a maze on a landscape that has varied gradients and an underground base for the activists.

Kings Cross Project

This projects looks at how a temporally installation would benefit the new site being build near Kings cross station as part of the redevelopment plan in London. I looked at how creating colourful and amusing signs would attract and direct people to the new site. The reason I chose this is because although the new site is almost hidden amongst the hustle and bustle of the city.

These pictures are my two attempts are trying illustrate Barbara Stauffacher Solomon designs.

The are a couple of models i made for the project we had on the South bank by the BFI. the first one i made out of wood i found in my garden which turned out to be oak which explained why it was so tough cutting it, the image in the middle is a detailed model of one of the boxes you can see in the plan model. The idea is to see how it would look like at night with a variety of colors
