A TRANSLATION THROUGH FORM

Making a physical model is a wonderful approach to comprehend the idea of assembly because it gives me a tactile depiction of the many components of a bigger construction. Assembling a physical model entails putting together several smaller elements and understanding how they fit together to form the final product.

Phyiscal Model

I created a replica of the Minto House stairway that connects the ground and first floors. I work with two different materials: Museum board and grey cardboard. I am able to understand how different materials work and how affect the environment and building’s performance. This can assist to make the assembly process more apparent by showing how the pieces are meant to fit together

Diagrams

These two diagrams depict the structure of my model in isometric and exploded axonometric views, respectively. To create these, I utilise Rhino 3D software, Illustrator, and Photoshop. These can assist to shorten the design process, increase communication and cooperation, and assure the best quality final design possible.

The stairs are placed on opposing sides of the composition and travel in various directions, creating the illusion of several routes or views. The door in the middle of the sculpture adds mystery and interest by implying that there is something beyond it. The ceiling is shown as a flat surface with a striking, graphic pattern, in contrast to the more organic curves of the stairs and entryway.

Two steps appear to be ascending upwards towards a central location with a single ceiling visible. The stairs are composed of a variety of materials, including wood, and each step is decorated with a unique color and design. The ceiling is a basic white pattern that gives the item a feeling of harmony and balance. The collage’s overall impression is one of movement and advancement, with the eye pulled to the top of the stairs and the center point where the ceiling is positioned.

The windows above are tall and narrow, with chipped white paint around the frames and slightly distorted glass panes that appear to have been there for a long time. The light streaming in through the windows forms soft shadows on the steps and entryway, creating a nice and welcoming environment. Overall, this collage evokes nostalgia and history, encouraging the reader to speculate on the stories and mysteries that may lie beyond that ancient wooden door.

The corridor is painted chipped white and features a sequence of doors on either side, each leading to a separate chamber. A solitary window with a fractured pane above the corridor lets in a sliver of light that illuminates the place below. The window frame is wrought iron with elaborate features engraved into it, hinting to the building’s past. These materials work together to create a feeling of mystery and intrigue, enabling the observer to imagine the stories that have occurred within the walls of this historic structure.
