Friday inspiration from Alya Binti Rafaie: ‘’This Friday inspiration from Alya Binti Rafaie:

‘’This is an adaptive reuse project set in Cardross, Glasgow, where I transformed the abandoned St. Peter’s Seminary to “St. Peter’s Centre of Sympoietic Sounds”; a centre to experiment music that integrates sounds from nature.[...]

Overall, I experimented with many modelmaking methods on this model to achieve an interesting and engaging final look. Working through failed testing provided a valuable reminder to me; there will always be hiccups and imperfect results, but sometimes these accidental outcomes can shift our perspective of the project which can lead to even better results.

This 1:50 section model showcases my proposed adaptive reuse design of St. Peter’s Seminary. The grey elements indicate the existing building structure, whereas all the coloured elements are the proposed components. [...]
Some process images showcasing the various model-making methods I have undertaken to produce this model. This includes clay modelling, pressure-forming, making jesmonite mixtures, jesmonite-drilling, foam-cutting, 3D printing, spray-painting and laser-cutting’’
