conceptual model

For this portion of the project, I got to work with Carlie, Cassie, and Audra to design a conceptual model of the Bordeaux house, which we rendered in rhino from the previous project. This model was to focus on solids, voids, planes, and context. Because the Bordeaux house emphasizes the land, we chose this as the main feature. We first made a topography map out of cardboard and cut this into a grid of 12 pieces. We then vacuumed formed polystyrene over the cardboard to get a clean, smooth surface. The dark wood contrast with the white giving this model a conceptual way of interpreting the Bordeaux house.
