Disciplined Surface
Paper Models
Surface exploration. No real direction here. Start cutting and folding to see what paper can do.
1/2" = 1' Scale Model
The start of my 1/2" scale model.
Three simple rectangles cut and bent to form a structure.

Site
The site for this project was in the median of 7th St. in the Haymarket area.
Dimensions
The design would be plotted down the median of the road.

Structure-site application
Finished scaled model with representative figures. The model is built to a 1" = 1' scale. The structure will function as a solar powered charging station for electric cars and other electrical devices users choose to plug in. Solar panels slot into the hexagonshapes of the structures.
The structure forms a canopy to protect the outlets and the user while plugging their device in.
For this model, only one level of the structure is a solar panel while the level below it is a white reflective layer.
