Starting Model

So upon deciding that we would get working on the model as soon as possible, Franchesca, Nilo and I ventured to the Red Centre on our first available day-off, Thursday the 19th of March.

We decided that the exterior should be smooth and very clean, depicting the sterile and plain object that Loos wanted people to see, whilst the interior would be made from a coarser material, suggesting a more chaotic, organic 'feel' of all the unequal, intersecting spaces. Additionally, with the alien nature of the building to the exteriors, we thought it appropriate that the landscape be covered with an even coarser material...

On that, our idea was to even cover the exterior with a veneer of the whitest bond paper we could find.

So with that in mind, our heroes began building.

Using greycore card (since it was cheaper and readily available) we began constructing the external barriers of our site, the fence, the outside stairs etc. thinking we'd cover them later. as well as the four 4 external walls.

Oh, and i didn't take photos on that day...
