Building Materials
Project 1 ~ Space Out the Material Cube
The first project for building materials is to get to know the materials, paper and also wood. How well do they cut, how does it stick and what bonding material is best suited for it. We were told to explore on it and to make our own cubes to show what we can understand.
materials - manila paper
tetris pieces

For my paper cube, I decided to make a cube out of tetris pieces. The tetris pieces would then combine to form the paper cube.
materials - balsa wood

My wood cube is based on a core and like i=the name, has a core and is connected by other small cubes.
Project 2 (Group)
We chose a site, The Burger Factory as our choice of site as it has a wide range of materials and it communicates well with the built of the place. Our site is located at SS15 and also serves one of the best burgers in town.

Project 2 (Individual)
The individual project is technically the same as our first group project but this time we do it alone. It is definitely challenging to come up with our own choice of old traditional buildings and then take their style into account.
