Project 1-Space Out-the Material Cube

 

This aim of this project was to build a cube that has interior designs which can define it's volume. 2 cubes of different materials should be done in this project, one was a paper cube and another was a wooden cube. We are required to be creative on the decoration of the volume of the cubes and lastly, produce a A2 presentation board about the process of construction of the cubes.

 
Description

 

The interior volume of wooden cube that I did had more complicated design than I did for paper cube. This was because the material that I've used to construct the wooden cube was balsa woods, which has stronger strenght and harder than the paper cube which I've used paper board to build it, therefore, wooden cube can support heavier weight of the interior decorations than paper cube.

The wooden cube had a X shape supporting system to carry a smaller cube inside it. While the paper cube had a more occupied space for the interior decoration which were the right-angled triangle shapes in it to maintain its shape as a cube.

 

Reflective

From this project, I've learned that the importance of selecting materials as the basis of construction and also the medium that is used to attach the materials together. In the paper cube part, some vertical paper board strips were crooked and affected the appearance of the paper cube. Other than that, the wooden cube I've used to much hot glue as some parts of the cube had the hot glue stains. I will remember the mistakes that I've made in this project and will be more careful for the following projects.
