Week 10 This week was spent completing the final task that needed to be submitted for the final assessment. These things included this blog and the script and PowerPoint for the 3-minute presentations.

Week 9 The majority of week 9 was spent photography all my models in different lighting conditions. This included soft light and harsh light from different orientations. This allowed me to get the photographs I would need to submit at the end of the term as well as better understand how the changing light affected the models. I used this information to write the 120-word written statement. I also began collating all the documents and making sure I had completed the task that I would need to submit at the end of the term. During this week I also collated the best photograph and put them all on an InDesign document formatting them using nicks grid tutorial technique and name each house based on the model's characteristics.

Week 8 This week I learnt how to use the rendering section in Fusion360 by watching Russel's tutorials on moodle. I rendered the lofted initial sketches using an array of materials that were available in the appearance menu. I aimed to make it look as  obnoxious as possible, with highly reflective golden outside, titanium inside and granite base. I also visit Russel’s blog used the tutorial to add additional textures to the models earlier made. I used this information to add textures to photographs of some of my handmade models

Week 7  Throughout week 7 I continued construction lots more models of my room, begin changing the scale and adding different elements, this changed the feeling and purpose of each model as they developed. I also explored how changing lighting conditions changed the models. I printed scale figures and added them to the models, this help represent the scale and purpose of each model.  As well as this I the physical model making I completed the fusion 360 tutorials and created my own version. I had lots of issues shelling out the shape however I eventially stumbled across the solution of changing the original sketch to a more simple shape.

Week 5  During Week 5 I watched the videos provided. With this knowledge, I completed the 2.5d shape assemble of a model of my room. I also completed the drawing as seen below. I also watch the videos supplied that provides an introduction to architectural model making. This was one of the first times using fusion 360 however with the information from the tutorials all the task where relatively easy to complete.
