FMP - week 5 (1)



What went well was I got given advice from teaching staff, which allows me to think about the things I need to consider for my pod house. We talked about the scale of my pod house, which I have not thought about yet. They suggested that I should now start thinking about the interior of my pod house. I could draw the interior or taking pictures of interiors and Photoshop them into the interiors of my models. The Water bomb tessellation I made by scoring polypropylene and cardboard, I was suggested to make a bigger piece and to use the Zun machine in the workshop to score it, instead of doing it by hand. This is something that I will consider experimenting for the next time I come in college, since I have to create the template first on Adobe Illustrator.

I manage to laser cut the same design but I change the sizes, so instead of all the pods in one size, I am experimenting with different sizes.

Next I will be assembling the newly laser cut pieces. I will also be creating the template of the Water bomb tessellation, ready to be scored tomorrow using the Zun machine.

According to my action plan and time table, I am carrying on with exploring different practical methods. This has been achieved and is still ongoing, as I will be continuing experimenting using Adobe Illustrator, laser cutter and the Zun machine.
