Joshua Aranda: Architectural Design 1
Project 01- Fibonacci Cube
The project required us to build a cube using the original model we first designed. It was composed of 3 cardboard models and some basswood to help show the element in a cube. While designing the cube I aimed for an aquarium look while keeping the horizontal characteristic water has. Also like an aquarium it shows heaviness at the bottom and is more open at the top.

Element Exploration Collage
The element I chose was water and as I did some research on the element I noticed 2 things about the architecture...
1. Many of the buildings were built along bodies of water such as rivers
2. The other kinds of architecture were very modern and futuristic looking
Water was also in most cases horizontal, wide, and heavy at the bottom, I kept this in mind while designing my original 3 plane model and the cube

Drawings and Model:
Original 3 Plane Model:
While creating my original 3 plane model I tried to represent the ocean as much as I could by keeping it wide and using the extra planes as waves. It is not shown in the picture below but the large horizontal plane was moved 1 inch to better show the "floating" concept of water.

Fibonacci Cube:
When making my Fibonacci Cube I used the basswood and arranged them to better show the appearance of an aquarium. Aquariums come in different shapes but most commonly are cube like and my model shows that. Also while designing this model I kept a concept of water in mind, heavy at the bottom and open at the top.
