Architecture Culture and History I - Project 3 (3D Abstraction Model)

Project 3, which is also the final project of this module.
For this final project, we were required to create a 3D abstraction model to communicate with our precedent and conceptual analysis, only the most important and significant features of the building should be extracted and put into the 3D model.

The building we were assigned to was Salisbury Cathedral, and for my group which was consisted of Tan Chee Siang, Tan Hsuan Lin and I has decided to focus more on the spire of Salisbury Cathedral as we thought it was the most significant and historical feature of the building, we had also extracted the essence of the gothic architecture style including flying buttresses, ribbed vaulting and pointed arches.




The model was done in the scale of 1:400.





As for the final product, we had attached a mirror next to it to create optical illusion and also added lighting to express better about the light penetration of the building.

Through this project, I had learnt how to coordinate within group members and to adapt faster in working as a group to present the most effective way of working. Besides, it was a great experience for all of us as it was our first time to create a small model using balsa wood and it was indeed challenging but fun! I had also improved a lot on my workmanship/craftsmanship as I got practice the right way of cutting and building a study model. And it really made me into a more patient and careful person after completing this project.
