A word of the wise to all young aspiring architecture/ IA students. (I have only like.. 8 weeks left...it makes me cringe and smile at the same time whilst saying that.. & its too late for me to be aspiring)
conceptual models. are cool.
I have always been one of those students to lends more towards organic shapes and styles to inform my design- I am the infamous 'trace paper model' student.. my designs often playing with light and translucency more than they should. Anyway, the point is also that modeling in 3D space I think allows you to have another dimension to your design, and makes you look like SUPER GENIUS. Planning on a flat page sometimes can be too limiting, and makes you want to die more often than not. free yourselves up and just fiddle around with things.
Here are some models I have been doing recently for my thesis, looking at the building itself (playing with the old trace paper + light) but also looking at modeling different ideas/ concepts into structural form. You have to be careful to make it not so 'metaphorical'... (that's what the tutors say) but trust me, make something tangible that demonstrates your idea.. and they will be all. oooohhhh
here is a link to an artist I met in 3rd year who does alot of work with paper. She has a great style, and the stories behind alot of her work are interesting too!
