So this is what college is for me. When I was little I expected college meant having your nose in a book at all times. I was sooooooo wrong. Im a 3rd year arc student, and this is my most recent model. Im a little proud, but thought I’d show the monotony ive subjected myself to over the course of 3 days…
These are the pieces of my model. This pic is roughly half of them. All 2"x1/4"x3/32" plexi pieces, half clear, half mirrored. All have a .125" frame around them. I made all the pieces and frames. I hate rectangles now.
This is what they went into. Its a wall that stands in front of a building on South campus (Diefendorf). Its meant to replace an existing wall that acts as a shade on the north side of the building. Its not a very exciting design, but its very structurally sound. Also, although it looks totally random in its construction, a very detailed system dictated which piece went where.
Well, it was worth the time and effort. It looks damn cool!!!
BTW, I wish I did that stuff when I was at UB. I was always working in groups and “making” new products and services which isn’t that bad either but not as cool.(marketing)
How long did that take you? It took me 8 hours to figure out I was using the dilute ammonia thiocyanate and not the saturated. Thus, no fading. Thus, a waste of an entire day.
