Recent Part 1 Graduate Thomas Smith was one of the few shortlisted and eventual prize winners in our recent modelmaking award<\/a> scheme. His project which looks at ‘Fuel poverty accommodation for an extreme cold climate’\u00c2\u00a0<\/em>balanced the benefits of laser cut components with fine hand crafting to made a crisp clean presentation standard model.<\/div>\n
\n

By considering the next steps beyond a medium, in this case laser cutting, the results can be fantastic and the skill and understanding conveyed is self evident.<\/p>\n

“The model conveys the overall structure and form of two of the building typologies I have designed. The elements of the model act in the same way as the structural elements I propose to incorporate.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The finish of the plywood when etched works well to represent the replaceable larch cladding, and the smooth un-etched finish replicated the internal finish of the structures and the walls and floors will all be finished with ply. The clear acrylic represents glass and the polycarbonate shell, allowing me the illustrate internal conditions in terms of lighting.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

I feel that I have learnt to ensure that I plan how I am going to construct the model first to ensure that what I want to produce is achievable.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Tom’s finished model is shown below. We wish him all the best for the future!<\/p>\n
