Studio Model for Contemporary Woodworking Sculptor

Below are images of my studio model. The artist that I have chosen to create a studio for is a contemporary woodwork sculptor. One of the sculptor's work has inspired me to create something geometrical yet curvilinear at the same time. The model lacks interior space because I wanted to achieve a sense of openess. I also wanted the model to look like an exhibition space rather than a studio.

Fisher House - Site Model

Fisher House By Louis Khan

This is a site model. The double cubic volumes represents a massing model of the architecture.

Constructing the Fisher House site model was a fun experience. I enjoyed the process of finding the right material for the trees to the detailing of the bridge and stairs. An interesting tip that I discovered while making this model was that different coloured balsa wood can have a significant impact to the overall presentation. I have used a darker coloured wood to build the bridge and used a light yellowish balsa wood to construct the massing model of the Fisher house.
