A spatial model explaining the design concept is to be created for the midterm presentation. As soon as the spatial concept has been finalised, this will be recorded in plaster. The developed structure forms the underground spatial sculpture of a hollow body. The spatial concept is to be cast in plaster as a volume model on a scale of 1:200. This should show the negative space of the developed concept (air space becomes plaster).
Tutorial Gipsmodell – Basics
The first video ‘Tutorial plaster model – basics’ explains how to mix plaster, build a clean reusable mould and how to dismantle your model.
Tutorial Gipsmodell – Applications
The second video ‘Tutorial plaster model – applications’ shows how to model a negative mould within the formwork using XPS. We show three basic application principles that can be used in your phase 3 concept models. The examples shown do not represent finished concepts.
