A quick progress update at the end of Week 1.
The WIP site model shown in Rhino, partially generated using the GISMO plugin for Grasshopper, along with grabs from CADMapper, Sketchup Warehouse & manual building height investigation.
As mentioned in the previous post - our tasks are to create an A2 poster, film, site models, and site elevations. My group’s focus was the SE elevation opposite our site, along with a 1:1000 model, which will be a 1x1km square of Budapest, centred around Szervita Tér.
Primarily, we’re planning on creating the model out of plaster-cast sections, mounted upon a timber board for integrity. The structures themselves will be timber massing, placed atop the topography. Infrastructure will be represented using coloured wire to denote specific bus, or tram lines.
Initial poster sketches using markers
Additionally, progress is being made on the poster, although I’m still not 100% sure which direction to take with it. A friend suggested I investigate screen printing - and I’m set up a session with the tutor for Monday to investigate this.
Finally, the site elevations are coming along, and currently the only tricky bit is ensuring the all the lineweights are in fact printable (some issues with the 0.05mm lineweight in AutoCAD, along with I believe some overlapping lines. ‘OVERKILL’ to the rescue?).
