Concept Model

For a start, I used the paper model I had made to plan out angles in my concept model for the roof. Unfortunately, I did not have so much cardboard to cut them into the shape and layer it (as the lazer cutter would do) however I had some modelling clay that was layer-like in appearance that I felt would be an appropriate substitute in this case.



Unfortunately, the model was not as neat as I wanted, however, it shows the idea and structure that I wanted to express without using the lazer cutter (which is closed during the weekend) I then placed the model onto the before-made stair mold. However, I've learnt a lesson for next time, as I was unable to remove the expanding foam from the wooden board I placed it on. Next time, I will use it on cardboard that will easily be cut and will still support the structure.




I wanted the expanding foam to grow around and "encrust" the stop, to make it look like it was literally growing out of the lichen/existing architecture.
