Refining spaces

With my outdoor form, I will now make it more interesting by creating a it a solid wireframe. Here is a screen cast of the process.

The result

A solid wireframe structure

And finally

Joining spaces together

Adding windows to make it appropiate for a functional space

Back to the digital world

Now that I have a physical model, I can now reinterporate this into the computer for extra refinement of spaces and plans etc.

I have gone back to sketchup, created my sections once again, and used the forms created from the model to recreate a digital model. Looks something like this..

Now that I have my internal space, I am going to create my outdoor space by exporting these sections into BLENDER and morphing a cloth over the top..

More experiments..

Using the model as a 'physical' blender model

Model attempt 2

Importing into sketchup and cutting sections

Importing into corel draw to laser cut

Now that I have a sectional model, I will now use it to 1) assist me in creating internal spaces and 2) form the building envelope. Furthermore, I will explore how the spaces can be connected. The experiments stated will be conducted using string, kind of like a physical blender experiment.

Some problems I came across with the construction of the model:

• Floating structures that will need more columns
• Thickness with outdoor shelter

In order to refine these spaces, I need to create a more refined building envelope, not just blobby things in blender.

Physical Model - Sections

From my blender model shown below I took it into sketch up pro by exporting it to an OBJ file

importing to sketchup

After importing into sketchup, I took sections and saved them as dwg files and imported into corel draw for laser cutting.
