FOAM

This material is unusual when you really start to think about the way in which it moves (is able to bend and shape in relation to other materials). 

Aesthetics

Initially i wanted to create the house using four different colors of foam. However i felt that this would distort or draw away the attention form the models dimensions an form. As a result i was able to obtain a perfect house model that looked pleasing to the eye. If you were to place this particular model against a white background the result would be much more appealing than say the picture below (beech wood table).

The construction approach

-Using one sheet (16cmx20cm) i marked the four desired shapes. Pencil doesn't show clearly on black foam so i used red pen and a ruler for straight edges. From this i then cut out the shapes using scissors.

What was vital in the marking and cutting out however was understanding that in order to sustain precision, i have to remove 5mm or so from n edge. This was because when joining the pieces at their edges more width was added.

-i tried different techniques for connecting together the pieces however found the best method was sellotape. Obviously this doesn't look to great on the outside but workd great in holding the structure firmly together.
