Colab

Models/ prototypes of the collaborative project responce

First model before the design changed to accommodate price and practicality




Various stages of making...

Base with foundations to display how the larger version would be formed





Decked floor- linked with shuttering method used by lubetkin during construction of the tectons









Laser cutter- accurately and neatly cut the shapes required..




Laser cut pieces starting to form the model- curves and shapes all taken from existing Tecton buildings



Hexagon shaped design chosen as its a reliable constructive shape used for strength and is structurally sound compared to a dome..12 sides (including the roof) which mirrors the 12 Tectons








Cutting out the acrylic shapes to be arranged in different (modernist) colours on the outside walls of the structure...









My sketches of the structure..










I drew up a plan view of all the components that formed the structure..to show to-scale measurements



A few images of the Tectons which shapes and curves were taken to inspire the final piece..
