More changes to the model

I cut strips of cork to use as the main material in my weaving experiments. Although the roof design was interesting, I felt it could be taken further to enhance the materiality of the cork, rather than just being an mess of shapes. Therefore, I made a layered effect with different sized strips of cork at different levels, then weaved smaller strips throughout it. I am very happy with the end result.

The cork pieces didn't break (which they are liable to do, the thinner they get.) it casts a very interesting, assymetrical shadows as well as using cork in a different way than just a substitute for cardboard (after all, cork has much more flexibility.) I also weaved cork strips throughout the "gaps" in the cut wall design. I love the effect, the way they seem to enclose around the walls and almost give it a nest or basket like structure/shape.

The cork "weaving" around the structure, shown on the exterior but also entering the interior, linking them together. Here are some photos of the weaved roof design:

I took some experimental photos to see how it would turn out, quite interesting results!

(Temporarily being held on by office pins)

The shot of the interior that I liked the most, the shadows that would be cast during the day would make this a very interesting stop to wait in. I also made some benches/seats for good measure (even the little bits add to authenticity, after all, how can you have a tram stop without any seats?)

That's all for now - time to sleep.
