This design was inspired by curved paper/card models of Zaha Hadid.
I first attempted to create these curved and layered surfaces using regular printer paper. Initially, I found it easy to fold along the curved lines after using a pen to score the lines. However, after leaving them for some time and attempting to glue the paper to tracing paper, I found it lost it had significantly lost its shape. Attempting to fold it back along the curved scoring lines just creased the paper and created quite a messy looking model.
Materials: Card Paper, Printer Paper, Tracing Paper
Scale: 1:20

| Long-shots of this model give a grander scale and provide a better feel for what a realised version might seem like in its site context. However, given the model's size, and the set-up available to me, it is difficult to take photos against a plain background. |
I used tracing paper to show glass and windows in this model. However, I found that tracing paper does not bend easily without showing the creases which appear similar to cracks in close-up photos of the model. It also does not allow much light through, so I didn't feel I could represent the windows and effects of light in the way that I wanted.
