um.. something happened… the world’s largest section?
so, as you all witnessed, my project did not turn out quite the way i wanted. i worked very hard on my model (which i thought turned out ok) and that consumed most of my time. my plan and section were poorly rendered and my diagrams weren’t rendered at all. (and how did i not realize something was amiss with the scale of my section until i printed it out? shouldn’t the 144″ paper width have been a warning? i guess that is what a week of no sleep does to the senses…) i had high hopes for this project and i still really believe in my concept, but my representation didn’t come to fruition… it’s frustrating to put your heart and soul into something and have nothing to show for it. i know i need to find a way to work better in studio. i am hoping over the summer to improve my photoshop/illustrator/sketchup skills, so i can use the programs more efficiently. i feel like i want to take more graphic design courses so i can communicate my ideas more quickly. then i can work through more details/iterations of a design…
Hi,
Your model is quite nice in fact! I’m an architecture student as well and doing some concrete experiments at the moment, similar to what you have done but as the mold for my design. I was wondering where did you get those perforated sheets of Plexiglas from? did you make them yourself?…cuz I’m desperatly looking for these in UK. I would be happy if you reply to my comment on my email at :

Wish you luck.
hi amirali-
actually i made these perforated sheets with a laser cutter. and unfortunately i don’t think that there is really any easy way around it. i just purchased a bunch of sheets of acrylic and drew my templates in AutoCad. then i spent about 48 hours on the laser cutter while it burned out ever hole painfully slowly..
