The project
Archicercle made this model for Marta Saiz’s final-year degree project. The work translated a project inspired by Japanese architecture into a physical representation, combining MDF with several types of card and board.
The model used 2.5 and 5 mm MDF alongside Daler, Cartomat, Pancastar and Ecocarten card and board. The project caption links this selection of materials to the intention of representing the Japanese architectural language that inspired the academic project.
Archicercle’s documented contribution was making the model using laser cutting and engraving. These operations were used to produce the 1:200 model and are distinct from authorship of the architectural project.
The available record captures a work-in-progress stage: the model brings together light and dark volumes, vertical elements and overlapping planes on a worktable. It provides an insight into the model’s physical development rather than documenting a confirmed final result.
