Week 5: Model Photos

==Model Photos==

 (Materials: A4 Printing Paper, Tape, Glue)

With my first paper model, I found that it was not very strong structurally. This made it difficult to create the walls without the whole model caving in on itself. I was looking forward to working with cardboard.

After working with cardboard, I realised, yes it was much stronger than paper, but it also came with its own difficulties. Since, cardboard has multiple layers, it was common for me to cut through only a single layer, without cutting through all the layers, especially the corrugated middle. This made cuts unclean, jagged and required a lot of force. Creative Adjustments: (Scaled 1:50)

Week 5; Folding Techniques

Crumpling:
To me, this is one of the most dynamic ways paper can be used. By crumpling and folding the paper over and over again, the destroyed fibres turn it into a sort of tissue like material, easily bent and reshaped. It also allows for strange shadows to form in the crevices of each crease.

This parabolic shape was quite gimmicky. Although it provides an interesting shape, there is not much else that can be done with the canopy.
