Project1-FinalModel

 

The most interesting part of this model is the material we choose.

We choose foam board for the main material is because we want to clearly distinguish the timber stud wall inside the old house and those fencing and chain link are try to make them look real. We also used transparent plastic sheet to make the glazing, so people can see which area is enclosed, where actually connects to other area.

And you can see the model can be separated to three parts, an important reason behind. Although it makes the model hard to make, we still keep this design because it is the best way to look at the Gehry House.

the site, the new part, and the old house

from this model, we can see wt Gehry added to the old house, how the house originally looked like (although the roof and walls are modified by him, still can hv a rough concept of that), how the new combined with the ex. All of these can be clearly showed by the model.

Maybe this is not the best model with greatest model making skills, but we do think it represents Gehry House in the best way.
