The project
Archicercle made a 1:300 scale model of Laura San’s final-year architecture project. The studio’s contribution focused on making the model, selecting its colour palette, and laser cutting and engraving its components, drawing on the graphic language of the presentation.
Yellow was chosen as the unifying colour, taking its cue from the base colour Laura had used on the boards for her final presentation. In the model, it appears along the main route and the river, carrying that graphic reference into two specific elements of the project.
The model was made using MDF, greyboard and Pankaster in different thicknesses, with lacquered or unfinished surfaces. The components were laser cut and engraved to represent the architectural intervention and its details at scale.
The composition combines prismatic blocks, open spaces and an envelope of fine, repeated elements. Grey, brown and light tones contrast with the yellow strips, which establish colour continuity across the model.
The architectural project is Laura San’s work. Archicercle translated that proposal into a physical model, relating materials, components and colour to the representation prepared for her academic presentation.
The main route and the river share the yellow taken from the presentation boards.
