BENV - Fusion 360 Initials Model

Week 7 & 8 - Fusion 360 3D Shapes

Sketch 1 (V)

Sketch 2 (J)

Sketch 3 (N)

 From the 3 sketches of the letters using the tool "loft" the general shape is made based on the selected faces. A hole is then easily made 2mm from the edges of each sketch and hence the unique shape is made.

Rendering

By experimenting with the different textures from fusion 360 the shape gains more realistic properties. I used the gold polished material and changed its colour to a light blue for the outer face while the interior uses a granite material. 

BENV - Model Drafting

Draft Drawings

The general improvements to the design of my room is the addition of the side balcony made from a masu box, the x-form span and the spiral fold to introduce unique shapes into the area. There are more windows placed into the walls to improve on the lighting and the walls are made curvy rather than kept as a regular square.

Fusion 360 Model Design

The model is a very generic shape of being a cube so it made it easy to follow the tutorial for fusion 360. Adjusting to the new program took some time and practice but eventually i got the hang of it. Later the improvements to the model being the balcony and unique shapes were added.

2nd Attempt at Improved Model


The 2nd attempt at making an improved model was done through paper instead of cardboard to allow for more folding techniques to be used. The shape is modified to be less uniform and more windows are placed to allow more light into the area. On the top there are folding techniques used to create patterns in the light.

Theory of Movement
Words: flexible, easy, circulation, insight, human body

The development of circulation through architecture requires both an understanding and insight on the connection between the human body in relation to its landscape. By having a flexible plan, efficient alterations in designs allow easy movement throughout the area.
