7. Modular Home
AutoCAD, Illustration board, Glue, Moss, Flowers, 24”x20”x4.5” (2023)
As I continue down my path to find protective spaces, I created a “Modular Home” to explore a sense of versatility in the layout of additional rooms. The idea of growth and expansion is exemplified as one can use the design of retractable hallways to choose the footprint of their home.
I find that the homes and spaces of my childhood were physically stagnant, yet they were so emotionally dynamic. I think of my constantly changing state of mind and body, yet my room and the rectangular limitations of my home stay standing. I also implemented angular slits in the walls and ceilings of my structure to allow for changing angles of sunlight that shine through the day. I utilized AutoCAD Fusion 360 to model my structures before creating the final adjustable model. Through this, I not only experimented with the effects and the responses to the piece but also the math and engineering involved in the creation process.
