Workshop 2: Material Modelling





































































The Material Modelling workshop to start off with, highlighted the importance of having the most appropriate and suitable equipment with which to work with. The quality of an individual's model, while largely depends on the person's skill, is also influenced in a large way by the tools with which he works.
Secondly, patience and precision with your modelling work were qualities highlighted to be most critical in this workshop. The quality of the model, as in the first card scale model then the balsa copy, can be vastly boosted by the patience and care one devotes to it.
The final submission with the double tranformative action model was a very good way in which to put the skills and concepts developed in the workshop into practice. The idea of transformative actions really forced the individual to see spaces and buildings through a whole new different perspective, and often many at the same time. It also forced us to really explore the boundaries and limits of the media we worked with, and to look at interesting solutions and compromises.
