Building Dreams Architecture

This is an update on my project this far.  2D pieces: The 2D designs are done and posted with process and elevations. Then the floorplans created with Homes by me along with dimensions are done as well and the process will be posted following this post. The main materials are marble, glass, and metal (aluminium). Marble will be covering the wave piece along with the columns. The metal is part of the overall design structure and exterior on the window framings and walls. Then the glass walls are colored and clear glass.  The change in location only regards the area, It is located in Chloraka, Paphos, it is really close to the ocean and it's an area with close transportation all around. 3D pieces:  I used a laser cutting machine for my final 3D outcomes instead of using wood or the 3D printer. The pieces are made out of pulpboard and after painting them I will glue them with PVA. Then I will create the environment around it by using different materials like in the diorama project we

This is an update tutorial where I talked with my tutor about what stage I'm at with the process of my project. We discussed options for the 3D landscape and about some further research. We also talked about my 3D pieces for the application techniques as well as my second 3D piece which will be a 3D floorplan. I'm going to be posting a project update following this post to show what is completed this far and what I have left.

 This is an update on the planning of my 3D pieces.  I was planning to use wood at the wood workshop to create the 3d design, since the pieces were a bit complicated to create, I contemplated 3d printing but ended up choosing to create it with 1mm and 3mm pulpboard and cut them with the laser cutting machine.   The 1mm pulpboard will be used for the parts that will be bent and then the 3mm which is tougher will be for the rest of the pieces. I am going to use acrylic paint and acetate for the exterior, then PVA glue to stick the pieces. Then if needed I will be adding some more details.  After I am going to be photographing the results For the second 3d piece I am still going to create the digital 3D walk-in floorplan with Homestyler/Homes by Me.  I will be blogging about both processes and results.

This is my 3D prototype process.  I used foam board and mount board as the main materials. I started by cutting out the water drop shapes from mountboard for the main part of the design with a craft knife, after I measured them. Then I cut out a wave line that I would later glue on the foamboard wave part and tested out the placement. After I  cut a rectangle foamboard piece, I started cutting lines on it and making some space in between every cut which would help the material bend for the wave. After I tried the placement of the mount board wave on the foamboard piece to see if it fits correctly. After that, I started cutting out the lines on the pieces in where the wave part will be placed.  After I had most of the pieces ready I tested out the foamboard wave on the straight wall of the mountboard to see if it would stand and bend correctly when placed in between the cut.  After I started gluing the pieces together of the main part with PVA.  After the three walls were glued together

 This will be planning for my 3d pieces.   As researched, I was to use mount board for the main part of the building and foam board for the wave part as the main materials. Since testing out the materials on the prototype I realized I may not be able to create a precise model with them so I will be using wood for the final 3d piece. I will be creating each individual piece similarly as I did in the prototype and then I will be visiting the workshop to cut everything. I will be blogging the process and development of them and once done I will be photographing the final piece.  ------ For the second 3D piece I was planning to create a 3D part of the building to show clearer details. Since the first piece is a little hard to create I thought of creating the additional details by creating a digital 3d piece on Homestyler by doing an interior 3D walk-in document of the ground floor which will be the entrance/reception. I will be practicing on the program until I can develop the final piece.

 This is my project plan updated. I updated and added information about the building, my process of creating 2D/3D pieces and I also uploaded the blog checklist as well, having only 2 ongoing boxes on the list. Lastly, I mentioned some of the issues I'm facing during the processes and also wrote about my target market.

 This is an experimenting post where I started creating the prototype model with the previously chosen materials. There will also be a blogged process, but in this post, I will be talking about how well the materials worked together for this model and what changes I will be doing for the final model. The main materials I used were foamboard and mountboard. This is a piece of foam board with line cuts I made to help the material bend. This was for the wave part that curves. Then I tried to apply it on a piece of mount board by cutting a line horizontally to the middle of the piece. This was to test how I could curve the wave while held up by the left straight wall of the design.  After I cut up all the pieces for the building I tried gluing them with PVA glue. This turned out better than expected because all the edges were cut clean and everything fit together precisely.  With all the lines cut needed for the wave curve, the prototype looked precise The biggest problem was when I had to
