Overall Reflection:
Throughout this course I have developed several skills which are used regularly by architecture students as well as architects. The four week rotation between workshops allowed three skill areas to be focused on which allowed a broader scope of learning. However I often felt that I only started to master a skill when it was time to change. Particularly in the modelling and drawing workshops I felt that if an extra two weeks were present my skills would have developed significantly further.
Overall I enjoyed the three workshops I attended and believe I now have a greater understanding of the mediums used in architectural communications.

Material Modeling
Submission One: Cardboard House
Level One
Level two
Exterior with roof
Submission Two: Balsa Wood Trasformative Action
During construction
Finished Exterior one
Finished Exterior two
The materials modelling workshop focused on developing skills in accurate modelling of architectural spaces. The workshop involved several tasks with an increasing degree of difficulty. First we were introduced to modelling with cardboard which originally involved creating simple objects such as a cube, then progressing onto a more complicated architecture space such as our own homes. Next we were required to create a balsa model of a house which also incorporated two transformative actions, I chose slicing + separating and addition. I was happy with my final submission, however I believe with a few more weeks in modelling I would have improved my skills a great deal more. Additionally it would have been beneficial if I had completed this workshop before undertaking Architecture in Motion as modelling in that workshop would have been faster and more efficient if I had the knowledge I now do.

Modelling is a vital tool in architecture therefore I am glad I completed this workshop, furthermore I am confidant I will build upon these skills learnt throughout my architectural studies.
