BUILDING MATERIAL PROJECT 1 : BUILDING MAKING CUBE
Objective of Assignment
1. The task of this project is to design and build two separate paper and wood cube to define a volume of
12”x12”x12” inch space
Learning Outcomes
1. Recognize how intrinsic forms, limitations and boundaries of a material factor in a design
process.
2. Effectively work with a material in line with design requirements
3. Be able to express a material within its contextual application
TASK
1. Students are required to design and build TWO cubes, a PAPER CUBE and a WOODEN CUBE
2. It can be any type of paper and any type of wood
3. The cube should be produced with this one material and a fastening system [glue, nails, screw, rope etc.] at the student’s discretion.
4. The function of the cube is to define the volume of a 12”x12”x12” inch space. This does not mean to fill or to entirely engulf the volume simply define it.
Submission Requirement
A. Final full scale Paper and Wood cube exquisitely fabricated and an A2 analytique board containing:
• plan 1:50
• section 1:50
• elevation 1:50
• assembly diagram [sequence] scale to be determined
B. A CD ‐ MARKED WITH THE PROJECT AND STUDENT NAME ‐ CONTAINING A PDF OF THE BOARDS AND 3 HIGH RES, CLEANED UP PHOTOS OF THE FINAL CUBE AND ONE PHOTO OF THE PROCESS CUBE[S]
THE PAPER CUBE PROCESS
THE WOODEN CUBE PROCESS
THE A2 BOARD

REFLECTION
Lifelong Learning
Intrapersonal Skills
Thinking and Problem Solving Skills
This is a very challenging project as I had to think on how to show out the volume inside a cube using wood and also paper. It is no question that I had to use my creative thinking skills to solve that requirement from the brief. The most important part of this project is that it allows me to explore different kinds of materials and also fastening system. I had explored different kind of materials and found the most suitable ones for my design. It was a great experience and I am looking forward to the projects ahead.
