Model 1

I am finally posting my first architectural themed post. Yay! I recently downloaded the Google Sketchup software as I have always wanted to design 3D images of buildings. I never actually realised that Google had the software (What doesn't google have?!) so I was really excited about downloading it and finding out what I could do. It took me a while to get my head around the different tools but what was so good about it was that it had an instructor window which demonstrated what every tool I selected did, which was very useful. At the moment I'm trying to discover what type of houses I most prefer - although I like to but my own twists to my designs I have found that my designs tend to be quiet modernist and minimalist (I will post about my favourite buidings very soon). I will also at some point in the future hopefully in the summer make a start on designing a house, modelling it like the blogger Fashitects did which I loved. Perhaps I'll turn it into my summer project, going around London, doing reserch and collating all my ideas into a large book and eventually coming up with a final design - Just like I did with my Art GCSE. I'll make a 3D model on the Sketchup software and make a model out of card etc. This should give me something to work towards. I am excited! So here's what I came up with on my first attempt, hopefully with time I'll become really great at it. I've given the rather unimaginative name of Model 1:
