Foster + Partner's Model
Foster + Partner's Model
Embedded Files
A select group of students from my year had the privilege of being chosen for an exceptional opportunity to visit Foster and Partners. During our visit, we were tasked with creating a three-dimensional model for one of their active projects, specifically an apartment tower. Collaborating on this 3D modeling project with Foster and Partners was an incredibly enriching experience.
It provided me with real-world applications of architectural concepts, enhanced my teamwork and communication skills through small group collaboration, and sharpened my technical proficiency with software tools like Revit and laser cutters. This project challenged me to think critically and problem-solve, honed my attention to detail, and provided me with a holistic understanding of the architectural design process. It also fostered personal growth, boosting my confidence and time management skills. In summary, this experience shaped me into a more capable and well-rounded aspiring architect.
Scale Model
We were given a physical site model to accommodate our own model, and we were also provided with the final plans and elevations of their project to serve as the foundation for our own model.
Our model-making process began with the creation of a digital 3D model in Revit. To construct the model effectively, we opted to start with a rectangular core, which would serve as the structural support for the facades. Given that the apartment tower featured multi-level facades with varying depths, we fabricated multiple pieces that were stacked together to achieve these differences in depth.
For the construction of these pieces, we utilized a laser cutter to precisely cut them out of MDF. To assemble the components, we employed PVA glue, ensuring a secure and durable connection.
