Day 3 – model making

On day three we came together with the Hazlewick students and incorporated their ideas into our design. This included the cable and column structure which we envisioned on the previous day. After consolation and some design development we went to the modelling studio to start on the model.

Firstly we delegated the job of creating the ramp shafts to the 6th formers as we needed three to show the space for the ramps. We then continued by drawing our bridge on the map to give us a feel for dimensions and required distances, I then traced round this on trancing paper and transferred it to foamboard. This was then cut out and put into place.

I then continued by cutting out the parapets out of card. This card was to the required thickness of the handrail to scale. This job was then passed on to Rowan so I could research different components for the detail.
