My first attempt at making a quick model of my idea was pretty basic. I was inspired by how Zumthor played with the light and reflection in his bathhouse and started off by adding feature walls in the space.
In my development of my draft concept model, I continue to make new additions.
Above are some sketches I did of my concept. When drawing these ideas, I was mainly thinking about light exposure.
I felt concept of my modified draft model communicated the theme of light and reflection, however I had the issue of the pathways being too narrow and was not 100% sure about the placement of the windows.
Modelling the Ceiling of my Bathhouse concept
As part of my Digital Fabrication minor project, I will be designing the ceiling of my bathhouse proposal, using laser cutting techniques I have learned.
For the ceiling I will continue to use the theme of reflection to mirror the image of waves of the water of the pools, on the ceiling.
Below are some sketches of my initial ideas:
I tried to draw one of my ideas into Rhino (below) which I liked the look of, but ended up using this specific design for one of the feature walls of the bathhouse, instead of the ceiling.
I decided on the triangle shaped ceiling as I thought it represented the image of waves well, giving my strongly linear bathing space some irregularity.
The material I thought I would be using for the ceiling was bamboo. However, the grains of the wood when folding the triangles caused the material to snap. Ultimately after a few unsuccessful attempts in laser cutting the bamboo, I decided on the final material being cardboard, which was a much more pleasing and successful result.
