The Fabrications

The Fabrication - THE BURROW/ WEASLEY HOUSE and The Flying Ford Anglia

Scale: 1:45
Fabrication techniques
Laser Cutter: 1.8mm, 1.1mm, 0.6mm boxboard
Woodwork:  Main structural elements - Plywood 1.6mm (Base)  and Interior Structure (10mm steel rods and nuts)
3D printing: Flying Ford Anglia Car (Grey and White PLA filament)
Electrical Wiring: Lighting (light globes, battery pack, wires) and Levitation Module


The intention of making this model was to challenge the idea of contemporary fabrication techniques, an amalgamation of computer work and traditional model making skills to create an architectural model that seems to appear out from a storybook and narrates a story through its details and design. The burrow was chosen as the core of this project as it is a "magical" house with logical architectural elements to it, something that would be difficult to build in real life. With the aid of digital modelling programs such as rhino, helped to ensure that the model was buildable and a way to visualise the assembly of the model in real life. The flying Ford Anglia is made as an intent to give the entire model a more magical element to it and plays with the idea of using science and logic to create a sense of magic in real-life.

The house is meant to have the idea of extra houses(or rooms)  stacked upon one another with a Tudor structure acting as the foundation - holding up the houses. This is due to the fact that the builder (Arthur Weasley) decided to build it upwards instead of laterally as his family expanded over the course of time. Furthermore,  due to his interest in “ Muggle ” (non-wizard/human) things , the house is built from architectural salvage or “ muggle salvage ” s uch as the roof being made of salvaged timber and is cladded with slates, tiles and wooden shingles- anything he could acquire. Despite the mad and magical concept behind the design, Stuart Craig d...

Documentation - The Burrow

Image
For my documentation, I wanted to take similar theatrical characteristics from the Harry Potter movies, where music plays an important role in creating the wizarding sense in the movies. I also drew inspiration from the first edition of the  Harry Potter books as a way to document my fabrication processes done over the course.   Video Montage Documentation file Documentation compilation can be viewed in the link below: https://issuu.com/haideelim4/docs/fabrication_techniques_documentatio_7160cc98055ab9
