- Type of project: Architecture, Museum, Extension
- Year: 2019
- Materials: Plaster, Concrete pigment, Paper, White Plexiglass, Transparent Plexiglass, ABS plastic (3D printing material)
- Method Used: Casting plaster in a polystyrene mold, Assemble different parts made with CNC laser and 3D printer
I did this model using a mold made from polystyrene into which I cast plaster for the base (that contained the basement level of the proposal). I added red pigment to emphasize the site which was a historic one and after that I assembled the different parts of the proposal on top of the base.
I tried to obtain a single volume containing the base and the actual site. For this reason, I had to calculate very well all the cuts in the mold. The site had near it some ruins of historic walls and I tried to make them in one piece and at the same time with the base. I had to be very careful with the unboxing for this particular reason.
The other parts of the model were made using a 3D printer and a CNC Laser for the other parts of the buildings involved in the project. I tried to obtain a mixed technique model, very solid and red at the base level and very light and shiny-white at the top to emphasize the proposal and by contrast, the site.
