PROTOTYPE

 PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT 




To visualize what the end result of our project would look like, We were tasked to create a prototype during our free time. For my prototype the main materials I used was mount board, grey board and adhersive glue for bonding. The main tools I used was a ruler, pencil too mark out parts and a craft knife to accurately cut out the pieces needed. 







As you can see from the image above, I assembled the materials I needed and began to cut the mount board out with the craft knife and a ruler .



   


After cutting out the required pieces I began to glue the ground floor sections together using adhesive glue. I am well accustomed to the usage of this glue hence carrying out the bonding process was not difficult for me. 


At the top right corner you can see that I completed the ground floor and the first floor. I also used a pen to draw in the terrace sections as well as the doors leading to the terrace. On the green cutting mat I was cutting out the remaining pieces I needed to complete the prototype.








 The images above are pictures I took of my prototype. As you can see I also added grass to the surrounding area of the prototype to depict the landscape I will create for my final project. After I used the mount board I made a decision to go with 3d printing of the part needed for my final 3d model. This is because even though I can cut pieces out well, cutting all those pieces will be stressful. Using CAD software to draw out the dimensions will also be more accurate. 




For my final concept I will use a 1: 100 scale. Last term I used a 1:50 scale but this term I have more components so I will need to scale it down further.

FLOOR PLAN WITH ARCSITE

                                                  FLOOR PLAN Initially, I used a smart draw for my floor plans. However, I experienced technical challenges and the floor plans I made were lost. To improvise I used a different Architecture software named ArcSite in doing this.  caption began by drawing the main features according to the scale I used throughout my project which is 1m:50 cm I then began to add in the various rooms. Some of these rooms are the guest lounge room, the enquiry office as well and the reception area not forgetting the male and female urinals which are all on the ground floor.       ,Next I applied the same method to draw the first floor floor plan. Unlike the ground floor, the first floor has exhibition spaces which are both physical and virtual exhibitions.                 ...

MATERIALS AND SUSTAINABILITY

                                    MATERIALS AND SUSTAINABILITY After I have completed the prototype of my project, I have to consider the materials I will utilize in my real-life project. My project is a commercial art gallery situated in Ilot Fertile. This place is known for its low carbon levels hence using sustainable materials for my construction will maintain the balance of nature in that area.  Besides my personal research, construction this post will also be based on the construction materials used in the building of the Ilot Fertile high-rise buildings     LIMESTONE Limestone is a sedimentary rock which consists of calcium carbonate in the form of calcite. From my previous geography classes during my IGCSE and A levels, I learnt that limestone is formed through both a biological and chemical process. With the biological process, when shellfish in the ocean die out, the...

FINAL REFLECTION

            REFLECTING ON THE MODULE All too soon the Art Portfolio module and my time at DMUIC has come to an end. This reflection post will be based on Art Portfolio One and Two as well as what I have learnt and improved on as an outgoing DMUIC student  Art Portfolio two started about 10 weeks ago. I was quite excited for the second segment of the Art Portfolio subject so I checked the brief even before school started. I went through my brief and was a bit startled and scared. But I told myself I will take on this challenge head on because I did not want to end my final term on a bad note.  In my Art Portfolio 2 brief I was tasked to design a social housing unit for the residents of New Cromwell because the town was burnt down due to a terrible fire. Right away I knew that I wanted my main Architectural style to be Ultra modern infused with greenery. According to my brief I was supposed to engage in idea generation which I believe was the most d...
