The project
We made a volumetric model for Miguel Camañes to present his final-year architecture project. The brief called for a representation of the building’s volumes at 1:300 scale, with particular attention to its outer skin.
The architectural proposal featured an envelope of tensioned fabric that allowed glimpses of the interior while providing shade from the sun. The challenge for the model was to convey this translucent textile appearance at a reduced scale.
We searched for a suitable fabric and selected tulle. To give it rigidity, we used very thin pieces of clear acrylic covered with the fabric. The transparent support and the tulle mesh worked together to represent the building’s skin.
The model combines light-toned volumes, white surfaces and a fine-mesh envelope. Our contribution focused on making the model and selecting and stiffening the fabric used to represent the architectural proposal.
