So finally here are my second project. Sorry for the delay . Just somehow didn't get round to posting them.
With no further ado here they are..
Well ok two words about the task :D. The module was called Representation modelling , Scale and structure. So we basically had to research these things :D , scale and structure. Draw some sketches and make some maquettes and models.

I enjoyed this project. It was great experience to see how the work of design evolves. First I draw several sketches, some based on the sketches we were given ,I like to just put my mind on the paper so sometimes the sketches look untidy and messy , but still they show the idea and the intended look of the design . I made almost all of my sketches into maquette’s. It was hard for me to make these small quick sketchy models, because I am pretty scrupulous. So it was interesting to force myself in making something quicker. However, I must admit I didn’t succeeded in that , all 8 small maquette’s I made very already detailed and took more time that they should, and I used for them proper card paper. 
Finally, I made one bigger design building. It was the one that I had thought about the most, that I had drew good enough sketch and made good enough maquette to understand how the big thing will work and look like. Next I did a research of building heights and floor heights to properly calculate the scale. I ended up making my model in scale 1:170, and then I drew a proper plan in this scale so I can make all the parts and know that everything will fit. It was interesting to research scale like this because it is really hard to understand and imagine how big something would actually look in real life. So I went to London to get the materials, but to also, look at buildings that had 10-20 floors, and imagined the sizes of my design. Sadly I didn’t include my pictures in my project folder , because I didn’t really know we needed it ,and I have never made a project folder . After seeing some of the other student folders, I realized how handy and useful they are. So I have to learn to make them to make my process of thought clear and understandable. I again ended up spending a lot of time on my last model, but I am ok with the final look. Again I experienced a lot of difficulties and mistakes, from which biggest was the working with superglue . It is very untidy way to work. I learned that you can’t rush if you work with superglue, to work with it you have to have a lot of time and patience. Otherwise it will come out not as clean and smooth as wished. Another thing is to really calculate the amount of materials needed and make a clear list of things needed, and then buying them, not the other way around. And I guess again I slightly missed the deadline.
This was like my assessment-like self assessment :) . I thought I gonna put it here also ;) .
So thats it , some more pictures: coming up...
Well if you ask about the trees, i know they dont look that good. But I just didnt have the money t buy the proper tree, well actually I would have bought them , but I just didn't get to London before the submission time :( .. And those are not representations of trees!!!!!,Those are Sculptures of trees! Huge Metal or glass sculpture of walking trees... -_-
Here I just played around , and try to put an environment around and on the model . you know usually the models are like put in some kind of space :D.. I didn't like my messy desk .

| One day when I came back to studio I saw that my models is populated :O... there were people ( well paper people but nevertheless a human representations ) I have always liked to liven up my created worlds , and populate them. |
 |
| So the next morning there were even more people in my world! :) |

| I just had to add this guy! He looks just so real :D and like he would really live in the model , not forced to be there . he doesnt look like he has been put there. He just came and sat on the bench to read his .. thing... |
 |
| This building is based on a famous designers sketch . That was also one of the task , kinda , to make a maquette from already drawn sketches ,to inspire from them . So its a building , whose front looks like a human holding it from collapsing . |
 |
| The small model of the big thing :) .. well it took a long time to cut those bloody circles -_- |
 |
| This is ... hmm .. :D . a building presumably , like a skyscraper. I just liked the texture. didn't know the structure of the building ,though :P |

| Ok so this is the initial Walking Tree concept. Imagine a park in the middle of the city , like New York , with big building and packed with action. So there is a small block of green grass, and walkways all over it , from one side to the other. People every day rush trough it busy by their work , talking on their phones . Looking to the ground. Then we put there these huge , huge , metal constructions , that look a bit like trees. We put them so that their 'legs' sometimes crosses the pathways , but dont block , them . The huge trunks are made from folded and bend metal . So When people walk the park next day ,and finally look up , they see , between these skyscrapers a bunch of Trees taht are walking somewhere. Walking minding their own business . Captured it this one instance when they cross the park . Interfering with human life. They are so big so clearly cant be influenced by men. So the people stop for a moment and look to the huge slightly , in the wind , moving branches. And then they move along . never looking back. But for the one moment they have stopped and remove their phone from their ear. Because the metal structures are stunning and somehow familiar, because they are walking - going somewhere -they have their destination, they want to get to. We never know where that is , but we never know where an other human person is going , right?And anybody can relate to a walker - because they are walkers themselves, and they want be big they want to be powerfull , rich , so the dont have to care about the small people down there , when they are walking ... These trees could become their morning companions on their way to work , or the late welcome-rs, when they return home . So that the concept behind these Walking tree.. I think its good :D... what do you think? ok some more pics: |

| ...:D , from the front it looked like flying birds ... |
A bus stop that's gonna take you home , from the world I created for you today . No matter how short the being there was. You clearly were in my world for the time you red my blog. Thanks for that. And have a safe journey going home ... ( I assume that's going back to your facebook pages or draugiem.lv pages , or jsut closing this page :D )
See you back here. I gonna post something soon :D
P.S. I breathed too much supergloue vapor , so the other day my insides of the nose were bleeding :( , cuz the glue burns when it gets on the skin, and when you inhale it , trhough your noise some of it vapor stays inside the walls of your nose , and burns everything there :P .
Ye so that's bad .. Lesson to learn!!! use respirators!!!!! and gloves ...
