Aesthetics
The aesthetics of this particular model are different to other house models that I have made. It's consent is the reason, usually I would have solid plains of material covering the surface but in this design it shows only the wireframe. So I am only showcasing te edges of the house model and in a sense allowing the viewer to visualise or imagine what the rest would look like...it's almost like there is material covering the structure but it's not patently noticeable.
The construction approach.
-the original dowels came in equal lengths of 20cm each. I realised before I started making the model that due to the properties of the material you can't possibly bend it to a 90'. It simply just doesn't work, the wood snaps after slight adjustment in structure.
-knowing this I realised the simplest way and possibly the only way of doing this would be to cut the correct sizes and connect using glue or some sort of liquid adhesive. So that's what I did.
The structure is considerably strong and can withstand slight pressure from above. At the start of the construction of the model the glue did not allow for change. In other words I had to make sure that I was as accurate as possible when connecting separate pieces together.
