art project (cardboard skyscraper)

[Sui]

w00t! i just finished my building

the project was to research load os buildings (which i havent shown), design a building and make it using card. You can see the first sketch i did was a perspective drawing, looking up... then from that i drew some 1/2 scale blueprints. From these i made a quick test model using paper.

With the final product, i dint just glue 3 boxes together (well, technically i did, but i made the boxes from scratch ). all i had was some flat cardboard, and cut out 4 sodes of each box individually, cut tabs around them, and glued them together to make a box. this was the hardest bit :/

then came the easier, but more fiddly parts. i used cardboard tupes and regular card to make the pillars.. and all thats left to do is neaten up the edges with parcel tape and paint it

heres how it was put together (sorry for the shitty diagram).

i basically had to cut tabs for each section of each box, allowing for them to be folded and stuck together, with a square of card placed on the top and bottom. i like the way it turned out not only that but it is in exact proportion to my drawing.

I always hated technology class because I had to make those exact thingies and stuff... I'm no good at that.

That is pretty cool stuff, Suicide. Do you plan on painting it or anything, and making a little model town?

And then you should BURN IT AND FILM IT!!! :O

(I did that to an art project of mine before, if you want to see it, PM me )
