The Presentation

ABOVE is my throw up sheet for the Building Edge group we were asked to do earlier in the project. Mine was chose to be in the exhibit!

Final day of casting

This is a LOVELY picture of Kristina after a long hard morning of poring concrete into our final molds! Thumbs up! We're done.

Alright, whoever said this wasn't messy work? I'm pretty sure we all got pretty dirty at some point when working with the concrete, pouring and mixing.

These square molds below are the forms we used for our bases. For our structures we figured out we needed a second piece to hole the structure in place and make it stronger.

Our final casting of the mold of the structure we had to create and it's base. This was a lot of hard, dirty, cold work! We were outside or in the workshop four class days the full three hours of class. It took a lot of time and measurements but we were all very happy with the way our structures turned out. It was fun to finally make something that is actually going to be installed and used for quite some time. I'm happy we'll get to walk by our work everyday and remember all the hard work that went behind it.

Cottage

Just felt like sketching my dream cottage in woods. So cozy... hopefully one day i'll have one of these.

November Break

One Point Perspective

This is the one point perspective done in my dorm room. Its looking at our door and very messy closets!

Sucessful Molds

After seeing how our first mold turned out, awesome! We then knew how we would cast our final mold and have it be completely successful and pleasing to the eye. The top picture shows how we used texture in our mold to correlate to the Desert group. We bought foam and cut it out in ripples then glued it inside our mold to give it the ripple/wave look.
The second picture is the other side of the structure. This also has beautiful texture and you can see. Our aggregate really appears on this side which was pine straw and ginco leaves.

Mold 2

We were so excited to get to take apart our mold and see how the concrete casting turned out. Me and Kristina pulled the cardboard off then took knives and combs to get the foam out of the cracks to reveal the rippling texture effect.

DIRTY WORK!

We also sanded the edges of the structure to give it a smoother appearance.
