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 functional in the inside.

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 extreme...

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.

Model focusing on interior (functional)

I made this loft kind of room and I tried to create a modern and industrial mood to the room. I chose wood pattern paper and black card to set the colour and texture tone. I made a large window using plastic so the light could fully come in and make the room warm and high-class at the same time. Also, I added bookshelf (plus the two books made with paper on the shelf), stairs, and TV to make the space more realistic, functional and more home feeling. Last but not least, I put artwork on the wall to add more aesthetic feeling to it so that it can be liked by younger people in marketing.
