Fixtures & Fittings Presentation Sheets

Before I could start on my presentation sheets I needed to complete some last minute improvements on my model. So far I had only created something in 3D using actual materials, I found it vital to also create a digital render using 3D software. 





The range of images above is a representation of my proposed bridge. It was very tricky to create using the software. I would say I am very literate in my use of Google Sketchup but i genuinely struggled with this one because there were a lot of vertical elements that I just wasn't used to creating. It was, however, good practice even despite the result. 

The most important thing about these images is that I found them to be very successful representations of my ideas. I feel like I have accurately created what I intended. The only problem with the bridge itself was the measurements. I didn't have enough time to focus on the maths behind the bridge and how realistic the design was compared to how it would actually be able to be constructed. Despite a design having to be realistic in order for it to be created I don't feel as if your ideas should be limited just because you don't believe it would be possible to create something like that.

/ What is Social Housing By looking into what social housing is and how it works I have been able to further my knowledge on my chosen topic. It is incredibly vital that I am up to date with what it is I am tackling otherwise my project may be misinformed. / Articles about the social housing crisis I am aware that there is a housing crisis in this country, that was a main influence on why I wanted to pursue a project like this. I, myself, live on a council estate and I wouldn't prefer to live anywhere else. I feel I have an odd sense of responsibility on this topic as I have been living in council owned property my whole life.  Upon reading a number of articles, all loosely based around the issue of social housing in the UK, they all seem to point to one aver-arching opinion, that they are failing and they are generally disliked by the government, authorities and the people who live near them. Reading said articles has led me to be quite taken aback by some...

Model 2 The next model was more straightforward than the first, theoretically its simpler and quicker to make.  Getting the file from digimaps was simple enough, though the section they allow you to save was too small for me so I had to save two sections and then stitch them together. It was a lingering thought to create 3D models of the surrounding buildings and having access to digimaps allowed me to do that. The great thing about it is that I could select the shapes of the buildings and then just cut them separately. Once cut I just layered them up to a decent height and stuck them together.  The only issue I have had with this model is the material I cut it from. A lot of it was engraved, especially the water areas. The engraving caused the wood to become very thin and delicate and thus meant the board was prone to damage. I had to glue a slab of the same size wood on the underneath to keep it solid and secure.  Model 3: My last model wa...
