Process Videos

These videos show the process I have been using to cut and finish off the steel pieces.  First I cut the pieces out of my 14G steel sheet.  I then hit them with the grinding wheel and finally the wire wheel giving it a smooth edge.

final model so far

Model Progression:

I started the site context by making a mold and pouring it out of plaster my thoughts on this were to continue my exploration of materials that i have come across during this semester.  Further more, I believe that the steel model of my building will look great against the pure white site.  I also began building my steel model by cutting out the floors and walls utilizing a grinder I "borrowed" from work and an epoxy to hold it all togeather.  So far they have been coming out great although I got kicked out of the wood shop and am forced to work outside.  Aa far as the model goes though, the majority of it I think will be steel and I have some aluminum mesh that I am thinking of using on for some of the walls as well as some plexi.  I am also considering the use of copper for the roof as well as some copper mesh for parts of the roof that would allow light in. I am unsure though if it would be too much material change and i should just keep it monochrome but i figure ill see how it looks.  Also one question is do we also have to build that smaller 3/32" site model?  I found that to be ab ishy requirement from talking to others in the group.
