I did this model for an extension at an historic church.

The base was made from polystyrene covered and textured with jointing filler. I used this material to create a smooth hill with no contour lines and also because it had a different color than the one of the plaster which was used for the existing church and the proposal.

Because the fortifications were very small at this scale (1:200) and the probability that they would crack if I would have made them with plaster, I decided to use white modelling clay.

I did this conceptual model to illustrate the relationship between the solid volume of the building and the void spaces.

The model consists of actually two sectioned models, one cutting the building and one cutting through the stairs.
