Week 9: Urban Interior Space, through Models

The requirement of models to communicate designs, ideas and the interaction of light is inherent to allow the viewer to gather a better perspective on the building. Using materials capable of illustrating minute details is crucial in displaying features of a given space. The projection that urbanisation will cause over 70% of the world’s population to be living in cities by 2050 requires dense living styles similar to ones seen in Hong Kong apartments and the one shown in my model. As such, materials including paper and cardboard allow for this detail to be represented whilst also being recyclable.
