WIREFRAME


Whats interesting about the wire-frame model is that the material is continuous, it's all follows one line. This in itself makes the model unique and effective in it's concept. 

The construction approach
-this originally started out as a single piece of wire. The joints are made possibly by simply using my hands. As a way of obtaining near enough precise dimensions i rested the wire against a ruler and marked a pencil stroke where i needed to bend. 

The model itself doesn't look too great in terms of its precision. Due to the materials properties it becomes extremely difficult to obtain a straight edge. When holding the wire I actually realised that I was affecting the edge without wanting to. Also the bends themselves are not 'sharp'. By this I mean that te corners are bent rather than perpendicular. They aren't sudden turns that you would see on some of my other models such as the paper and foam houses. As a result to this it is a lot harder to measure the dimensions of the model as you won't know where an edge actually ends.
