more models and some drafting WIP part one

So I started this project and the process for it. Before I started the class, my friend (who went to Arch school) told me "the point of m0delmaking is not to build a beautiful model; you should be able to rotate it, pull it apart, do whatever you need to make observations and aid design. This to me is design! I LOVE this, because it takes away from the 'everything must be aesthetically beautiful' concept of illustration, although competence is needed (obviously) or no one will understand what you're building/ trying to say. So the first one is a bunch of boxes we had to interlock; they must be interlocked within each other, so we literally performed surgery on these until we found interlocking that created, between the parts, spatially interesting compositions. I've been told that our final piece will be much more involved, the use of acrylic and as someone mentioned "looks totally d0pe" LOL. Plus, we'll add people and all that. But for now, this is just an investigation of space, so we had to draft up the model as a section,(cutting through interlocks) and also doing another drawing of just the negative space. Also included is my quick sketch of the negative space. I like the cantilever idea and how it breaks up space and presents a hierarchy. We shall see. It's a process....
