The start in the building of shape city

This is the container where i placed most of the completed cubes and cuboids before i put them together into a 'city' based on the passage that i read.

Attempt at 'perfect' cube

This is the cube which i managed to come up with after multiple attempts. However, i still feel that it is not good enough.

Building Process 1

This is still the beginning stage where i am trying to assemble my cubes and cuboids.

Building Process 2

This is the intermediate stage where the base of my model is completed.

Building Process 3

A few more cubes and cuboids were added in but at this point of time, i was still considering how i should continue with the rest of the model.

Final Model Perspective View

After a few weeks and multiple consultations with the tutor, this is the final model.

Final Model Plan View

This is how the final model looks like from the top.

INTRODUCTION

TO THE COURSE

This is one of the very first few projects that the school gave me. It was when I first entered the school. At that point of time, I did not know what I was supposed to expect. I was rather surprised when they asked us to make them a 'perfect' cube.

In the beginning, we were tasked to build up a perfect 5cm x 5cm x 5cm cube. If the cube is not “perfect”, we will be asked to redo the cube. When I first experienced it, I felt that building a perfect cube is almost impossible in the first place but the tutors had high standards so I had to try and try again until I managed to get cubes that are close to being “perfect”. It was a tedious process but I understood that this is an exercise for us to hone our cutting skills.

INTRODUCTION

TO THIS PROJECT

It was right after we tried to make perfect cubes when the second part of the project came in. This time round, we were given different passages for each classes. We have to read through them and decipher the passages before we use cuboids and cubes to come up with an imaginary city based on what we have read and link them to our 7 design principles. As my passage had a lot of ups and downs, rhythm became my dominant design principle, while balance became my sub-dominant.

7 Design Principles :

. Balance

. Emphasis

. Unity

. Contrast

. Rhythm

. Pattern

. Movement
