3D Design- Inspiration from gallery visits

After producing the first structure to do with the shapes of buildings, I decided to alter the design style, I decided to use curves in the design rather than straight lines, I began drawing ideas of how the design could look, I thought about using the same design and just changing the straight corners into bends, although I found I could produce a different design, still focusing on space and buildings but using more bends, I found by using pliars and wood i could bend the wood into curves to produce an interesting structure. Using a glue gun, I then began to attach each piece of wood together to create a representation of my first structure although in a curvy form. I found this method of using wood was challenging as the wood was able to break easily when using the pliars, although it worked well in the way it created an interesting form in the different ways it could bend.

3D Design- Inspiration from gallery visits

I visited the CUBE gallery in Manchester in order to look at work and understand the way space can be used. I found looking at the architecture work, the work was very intricate and detailed but also the designs looked modern and contemporary. We were asked to produce an outcome in response to the work we had seen at the gallery visits, after drawing ideas, i found if I drew a 3D rectangle and cut out shapes I could make the rectangle into different buildings, I looked at the way the buildings use space and create space. I began to draw my architectural study which I was inspired to do by the CUBE gallery visit. After drawing my design, I began to use pine, this wood is easy to saw and sand down and when finished creates a simplistic but attractive finish. When cutting out the wood, I began to use the glue gun to attach each piece of wood together, the glue gun worked well as it ensured my structure stayed attached.After attacching each piece of wood, I then added string to the design, this created different space between each building and showed the attachment of each building to the other.
