Space out : The Material Cube

This project is designed as an introduction to building materials that are commonly used in the local construction industry. Students are required to construct cubes using the listed material to explore and understand building making in relation to materials, design considerations of material according to their properties and to finally understand how the intrinsic forms, limitations and boundaries of a material factor in a design process. 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 and produce an A2 presentation board regarding to our cube models.

The learning outcome of this project that I have gained is to be able to express a material within its contextual application and effectively work with a material in line with design requirement. Besides that, I learned to recognize how intrinsic forms, limitations and boundaries of a material factor in a design process. This project taught me to be more creative and be able to explore the space and materials of the cube. I find that this project is interesting because I get to see many different designs of cubes during the presentation. Everyone has their unique cubes and it brings curiosity to me to discover how they construct their cubes and it inspired me a lot in many ways.
