3D Fusion Initial Model and Model with Materials

Below are images of the 3D fusion model that I designed of my initials, CTA. Something I learnt and used are the shell and loft features within the program.

Below are the models of my initials where different materials of Blue, polished glass and Satin Nickel;

Paper Folding and Models with Iterations

Below are photos of the paper folding techniques I learnt:

Below are images of my different models that I made iterations and changes to. 

For this model I scaled down the walls to half the original scale;

This was the trial model for the iterations to my room. Firstly, is the brainstorming and template I made to create this model. After brainstorming and then into the execution, I trialed different window shapes and scales and also roof lines. Finally, I played with the lighting to let in patterns;

This was the final iteration of my room that included the different window shape and also my bed along with a feature wall that I learnt from my folding techniques above. I also adjusted the lighting in these photos to see how it interacts with the space within;

Paper and Cardboard Modelling

To begin this project I began with learning and practicing different folding techniques and patterns. Below are two of the patterns I learnt, the first being X-Form Spans on the left and the second being a V-pleat on the right.

After this I began to model my bedroom. I measured then drew up a template of the paper model that I was going to make and used I used a 1:20 scale. Then I measured and cut out the model in paper using my steel ruler and exacto knife. I glued the tabs of the wall to the piece parallel to it to guarantee the model walls to stay up. After experimenting with paper, I moved onto cardboard and repeated the same steps. After using both paper and cardboard, I concluded that I prefer working with cardboard as it is a more sturdy material to work with. Below are the process photos of this experiment.

After both of these experiments, I then moved onto modelling my living room. I again drew the template and then experimented with a paper model with a human figure and couch inside to give a sense of perspective and scale. For this model, I again used a 1:20 scale, however, I shortened the height of the walls and ceilings by half. Below are the photos.
