MODEL BUILDING PROJECT
Architectural Model for Faculty Dwelling Unit
Unit Program:
Build a prototype of your Project 1 residential unit at 1/8” = 1ft. Demonstrate with the model the unit can be reconfigured by the occupants without disturbing the structure using the principles presented by Stephen Kendall.
Outcomes:
-
An ability to design systems, components, or processes for broadly-defined engineering technology problems appropriate to program educational objectives
Project Submission
-
NO COLOR FOR ANY ELEMENT OF THE MODEL. Different shades of chipboard are acceptable. Use white glue (like Elmer’s Glue) to assemble the model.
-
Assemble the interior model so the envelope can be slipped off easily.
-
The interior model must be self-supporting and does not lean. Develop proportional scale elements for structural pieces.
-
Perform a self-assessment of your submission and incorporate it into the presentation.
