In this model-making exercise, I learned a lot about choosing the right materials, colours, and tools, and how each decision affects the final outcome. I struggled with the façade at first, especially when trying to replicate the timber pattern of Marramarra Shack, but with my tutor’s guidance I eventually found a solution using grey cardboard and overlapping layers. The interior was simpler to build, but it taught me important lessons about the relationship between open public spaces and more private, enclosed areas.
