Final project - New model

Previously I made a final model, I felt that it was smaller than I imagined and didn't link to the title of my project. Now I have made a new model which I feel has a stronger meaning

Final Project

This project is a continuation of the collision project. I chose to do this because I Believe I could have had a better outcome. Although I did enjoy doing this project I wanted to another type of model.

This time instead of using several types of cultures collided I only used two, which are Indian architecture and modern architecture.                                             

Using Indian patterns on modern buildings to make either a wall pattern or window

Responding to an event: Japans Tsunami 2011

 My response to an event was the tsunami that took place in Japan 2011 which was one of the strongest tsunamis that they had experienced.

My response was focused on the aftermath of the event which was the injured, homeless & anyone who needed help. The shape of the building is the shape of the area that was hit the most & clearly where more attention for help was needed. This building is at least 20ft high making sure that all the disaster wouldn't interfere with the inside of the building & the people who have already been through enough.

In total there are 3 of these building around the area.

Red area is the shape of the building & the area that was hit the most

Collision Project

As part of my collision project I had to collide two different objects, buildings, anything together. They could be opposite to each other or two completely different things that you wouldn't normally find as a combined model. My idea was to collide different types of cultures.

First model was Traditional Chinese architecture & modern architecture.
Second model to have a stronger development was Islamic & modern architecture.
Third model is an opposite of a small cottage with a mansion house gate.

My final model is a collision of all models that I made into one. It is a museum about different cultures, full of history facts & their traditions. It is placed in a popular tourists attraction for example Hyde Park.

Transforming the everyday part 3

Finally, I found something that I enjoyed and something I knew how to make already so I had a positive side while creating my idea. My idea was to cover my hand in mud rock/cast and use it has door handles. Because I wanted to create more than one hand it gave me an idea that I could use these hand models and use it for a cupboard. So when the models were painted to look realistic as I could paint it, I used my sister to pose with the models at home using the drawers and doors that I had.
Also, since I was using features of the body, I created something that may exist already but I haven't seen for myself which was to use my foot as a door stop.

Transforming the everyday part 2

I started to make a teapot out of clay but it didn't work out because the clay was way to wet and heavy and it couldn't hold the shape that I wanted. So I used chicken wire to create the shape and I would cover it up with less clay. At first I was willing to cover it up with sugar cubes but they clay would still be visible and would look appealing. Sugar cubes was an idea because I don't take sugars for my tea but I know many people that do so making a teapot out of sugar cubes would satisfy many people if it really was possible to make something that makes them enjoy tea more like sugar. But as I said about the clay it would be too visible and started to add something that had no link to teapots. Sticks is was I added...
Adding sticks was a bad idea but the chicken wire inside that clay started to appear to, this teapot wasn't going to plan atall

Transforming the everyday

The project that we are focusing on now is transforming the everyday. Anything that we use on a daily basis can be transformed and as an instant idea I thought of alarms clocks since that's what I use so that I'm on time to college. While looking at several alarm clock images I came across the computer game character Pac man and was inspired by where the clock was which was inside his mouth. So I had the idea of using humans lips but couldn't think of how I could transform it to my satisfaction. So I moved on completely and thought of teapots.
