100 words statement

From the first model to the last one, my direction went from making a real living space to exploring the limit and edge between the abstract and functional aspects of the room model.
For the abstract direction, I tried to make the outside shape more abstract by folding papers at first and by cutting and sticking the foam-core and balsa wood in the later stage. 
For the functional direction, I put many different furniture in the room during the process in different models like beds, desks, bookshelves, and etc.
Besides, the light study is also a major factor that I took consideration in my design and model making.  Opening up one side, cutting slots, and using plastic paper are ways I took to let the lights come in. What's more,  geometric shapes also helped with the shadow and mood creating.
After this series of model makings, I made abstract and functional rooms and found abstract is also a way to achieve functionality and although they are two extremes, they can exist and cooperate together.

Model made of balsa wood

Top View Detail 1 Detail 2 Detail 3 Sunrise Light Early morning Light 8AM Light 10AM Light Noon Light Afternoon Light Warm Mood Sunrise Light I made this 1:20 room model with balsa wood. I want to create a contrasting feeling between an original and traditional material with the bold shape of the model itself. I cut many geometric shapes out of balsa wood and I also bring back the elements of the slot from model 2's roof and use it as a shadow casting element and support beneath the roof. The shadow casting on the roof by the support looks really great in my opinion. I did the light study and simulated the light from morning sunrise to afternoon as you can see. The window side is the east-facing side and I opened up the other side, which is the west-side open so that I can photograph it easier and people can see the interior and furniture. Speaking of furniture, I put a bed, a table, and stairs in as I want to make the room abstract on the outside but also fu...

Model 1 made of foam core and paper

In this first week, I started the project with paper and foam-core 1:10 models. I tried to make this room exactly the same layout as the real one and I also put bed and table in to make it functional and this thought impacts the later models deeply. I also used the folding technic and the tabs to make the bed, desk, and stairs (plus the stair element comes back in the sixth model).

3D Fusion 360 Initials model

M-view Y-view Top-view I chose this reflective red metal to represent my passion but also determination in this new uni life. I want to be as tough and relentless as metal and also shining and passionate. I add a glass material on top of the model to show that remind me of not forgetting what's inside my heart and what's my original dream.
