1st workshop - experimental modelling

For this task we had to take an aspect of the urban city and relate it to a a sense and then create a collage based on this experience.

I decided to comment on the advertising and media present on the facades of architecture, and how in today's consumer society, we're bombarded by endless amount of advertising media that it all becomes a blur. I also wanted to comment on how we sometimes no longer identify certain buildings anymore as a piece of architecture, but rather by the media that is present on the building. For example, the building on the corner of Kings Cross is identified as the coke building ratehr than identifying the building for its architecture.

We then had to make a model based on the ideas generated by the poster. I decided to use cut out strips of metal using coke cans and then joining 4 strips together by folding the ends on each other to form a square ring, and I then link all the squares together to form a metallic like next sturcture.
