I found that cardboard was easier to use, only because it was solid enough to stand by itself. The only issue is that cardboard is hard find for large measurements, but is very easy to cut and stick together. The ultimate goals was the have all 3 walls and the floor to be the same piece of cardboard to make the form stronger. Although this was overcome by using sticky tape to hold the missing wall, which also gave the advantage of a different colour which brings dimension, in my opinion, to the model. I tried to follow what my transition space in my house is like, however it isn't exactly correct. Also, if I was to make it correct to the 1:20 scale, the ceilings would have to be adjusted, although including a loft the 3.1m ceilings is perfect.
The only issue with using paper, is that it doesn't stand and loses its shape very fast. I've also crushed a lot of my models because paper can't hold itself when cardboard is put on top.
I also attempted the paper folding techniques from the videos Kate and Russel Set during the online tutorial, which gave me the idea for another model which will be in next weeks blog. As im studying interior architecture, I was thinking was doing a feature wall, or a feature ceiling, which is taken from the pinterest board sent by Kate/Russell as well as Danielah.
This are my inspiration images for next week:
