Assignment 2 - 200 words about the model

For this assignment, rather than try to refine my previous digital model I decided to start from scratch. I also did this so that I could incorporate a new concept I discovered while further analysing the Capital Hill Residence by Zaha Hadid.

My digital model follows the concepts of symmetry, illusion and the repeated use of a single shape (through vertical and horizontal stacking). The base shape was eventually changed to interlock with itself so the stacking would be easier to achieve.

I tried to maintain at least 3 axis of symmetry. When viewed from the top/left/back angles, the digital model is symmetrical, however when viewed as an axonometric the façade of the model changes immensely.

I tried to mirror Zaha Hadid’s Capital Hill Residence concepts and ideas whilst keeping my own original form.

The idea of using augmented reality struck me as quite interesting as it creates a new medium for people to see the world.

Assignment 2 - Physical Paper Model

This is the physical model that I made to work with buildAR. It is made of four separate components, two are stuck together and two are separate.

Assignment 2 - Composition Poster

These are the compositions relating to my two concepts of symmetry and illusion.

Storyboard for Augmented Reality

This is the rough storyboard I created for my AR showing how I plan to display both the physical model and the digital model.


Parts in red are relevant to the digital model, green text is related to the physical model

Revised Paper Model - Practice

After changing the base shape of my model, I created another paper model based on that shape. I made two so that they could be placed together like in my digital model. (This is a practice one made of standard printing paper so I could figure out how the folds would work)
