Final Model


The final model.


Light is a key element in capturing the model's spirit and these photos attempt to do justice.
'Elevation'


'Plan'


The entire model is sectional in order to demonstrate the concept of the cave.


Materiality was effectively portrayed via balsa for earth (a natural element), white card for cement (its harsh emotional quality resonates this material) and copper wire for the thin structural element of steel.
'Elevation/Section'


The Final Model captures my vision for the narrative of the cartographer to the utmost of my abilities; his very character seems to be present in the end product. The following is a series of images that show how light falls inside the cave at different times of day. These images work strongly with my Poche renderings. The first image is midday, working through to afternoon and is repeated in reverse order for the opposite side.
