Presentation Model

Drawings

To show the different heights in levels and the distribution of room importance, I use pencil shading to show depth for each plan.
The next images are my rendered images and final presentation drawings. In my axonometric drawing I hatched two sides and left the upward faces white to contrast and distiguish the different levels of each room.

I decided to hand draw my drawings using tracing paper then photocopying.

I learned that i could be more precise when it comes to drawing fine lines.

These drawings are the original pencil traces.

The three floors I chose to draw were the bottom three plans. I believe show the designed spaces most effectively which was the concept I focuses on and found most interesting about this building.

The section I drew shows the levels very clearly and is also the same section we created in our model.

Making the Interior

We worked from the bottom to the top.

The challenge of the Villa Muller is the spacial ad level arrangements inside.

The exterior is quite simple ina box shape however the interiors is where the understanding shows.

We had to study the plans very well making sure we fully understood exactly where each stair case led to and which floors were higher than which.

Another aspect was making sure that the two halves of the model aligned so that the model would still come together as one.

Cutting Facades

We started the building but cutting the façades.

For each façade we cut three layers of white card to match the thickness of the wall at 1:100 scale.

I think the difficult part about this task was cutting the small windows accurately on all three layers.

We decided to have the section run through the building north to south and have the building removable from the base.

We created the two halves of the house sticking the façades so we had a frame to begin working on the floors with.

Making the Model

Scale of the model 1:100

Cutting the base for the model.

We use triangles to support the surround footpath.

And fixed base onto an A3 foam core
