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.
Wall Model, in site model
Outside, sideways
Its not nearly my best work, but figured id share what ive been doing for 3 days straight :bloated:
Best part was I got to play with the plasma cutter, its hoTT in more ways than one…

Ughhhhh god no. There is nothing worse than arc studio.
I do like you design though.
my only critique , and this is my own opinion, im sure it has a reason. . .
I love the form the bottom 2/3rds take, the top section, looks out of place, almost thrown together. Again, im sure there is a valid reason for this.

Top floors of the building is offices = less wall for more of an open view
bottom classrooms= less of a view out, while carefully angled mirrors bring in exterior light, and present moments of whats outside the room
Its all about manipulating light, and what you can/cant see from inside the building…

I hope so. Its actually aimed upwards so it reflects on the ceiling of the room.

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. ☹
