Fusion360 3D Shapes and Assemmblies

Week 7 Initials Exercise

(MY INITIALS ARE JMC)

I made a few attempts for this exercise as I had originally chosen to use the initials JSC. Issues arose once I had tried to loft the three faces (as seen below), and I made two further attempts trying to round out the letters and soften the sharp corners. After recognising that the main issue was connecting the curviest letter, S, to the others, I eventually chose to use the initial of my other middle name, Mildred.

After adjusting all three letters to be more rounded and stylistic, I was able to create a solid component with an interior thickness of 1.5mm. The final 3D model is shown below.

Material Experimentation: Week 8 Activity

Whilst experimenting with rendering the 3D model, I wanted to choose materials that reflected my design intent to bring light and air to my models. The semi-transparent finish of the emerald and frosted glass allows viewers to see through the shape from the exterior, which I thought was an interesting addition to the complex, organic shape. Alternately, the highly reflective surface of the polished gold allowed me to better spatially understand the model by looking at the clear reflections of light across the surface.

Bedroom Model Studio Activities

Bedroom Model Studio Activities Analysing the Site Dimensions: 3m x 3.4m x 2.6m\Length (along window) x Width x Height Window wall is northern facing and shelving wall is eastern facing. Paper Model of Bedroom Scale : 1: 30 Iterated Model of Bedroom Model 1: (Scale 1: 20) Added a veranda and window to the room and included roofing in the model. Model 2: (Scale 1: 30) I added a feature wall. I also experimented with balsa wood as a medium. d d Model 3: (Scale 1: 30) Polished version of Model 1 using balsa wood.

"Let there be Light!" Project

Final Outcomes - Let there be Light! Project “Let there be light!”seeks to communicate the importance of light and natural surroundings in creating comfortable living spaces. I took advantage of the existing architectural elements of the site, my bedroom, being on the second floor and it’s pleasing view of the leafy surrounding neighbourhood by incorporating a balcony and an additional east-facing window in my models. As evident in the lighting + photography exercise, the manipulation of the technical elements of form, lighting and shape transformed the area into a more open, liveable space. Thus, I was able to communicate both the built environment and my own design aesthetic. 3 Minute Presentation on this Project
