‘A Place to Exist’ Model Making

Subject:year 1 1 Minute

Making the model:

I decided to make my model out of MDF wood, this is because it is easy to manipulate and change to make what I wanted. I found it easy to use and I was able to create the shapes and design that I wanted, and use acrylic paint to apply colour to create more of an atmosphere and show more of the design that I wanted to. The model helped me to understand my design more and understand the space more, it showed me to see how small the space really was and if I was to add more furniture or any more walls then the space would start to feel smaller and less light would be let into the building.

I am happy with the overall outcome of my model, if more time I could have worked on the interiors more to see how they fit in and what I could have changed.

I strongly believe that the environments that we live in profoundly affects us as individuals. Having a sense of comfort and belonging in a space can nurture us to have a healthy mindset and outlook on life. I am driven to make a difference and improve the lives of others through design, whilst simultaneously demonstrating the impact that our environment has on us. This ethos is applied to every design that I create. ​ My driving principle is to create a space that will change someone's life for the better, as well as being unique, inspiring, and captivating; something no one has seen before and will never forget. During any stage of the design process I allow myself to imagine how it would feel to be in the space that I am creating, and how I want it to feel for all the users of this space, but also how the clients wants it to feel. I try to express this emotion and feeling through my designs, to portray the space to the best possible standard. I have always been intrigued in how every individual feels differently when the confront a space and I want to utilise these feelings within my work. ​ My work aims to create something fascinating that will stand out, but also encourage an emotional response to an environment. The projects that I have been a part of have shown me that I am determined to create something profound and impactful that will change how we see our current environments; working as an individual or as part of a team. I believe that this year I have done this on a very small scale, this has only encouraged my passion to design.
