Casts and Consultants!
I casted my stair models yesterday - was quite a fun if stressful experience and at least through documenting it, I've gained a spread on casting!




Here are some images of the moulds of the three options: (thinking about the negative and positive spaces)

Here is an image of Option 3 of complete wall penetration with the mould of the stairs (with metal runners to be cast inside.)

These were my models this morning post-casting and a day of solidifying but prior to being removed from the mould and left in the unit space to dry out (hopefully by tomorrow - fingers crossed!)

I also went to the studio of set designer, Patrick Bill to consult with him on his nesting of spaces in the Channel 4 TV programme, The House That Made Me. He was incredibly helpful and talked me through several locations they scouted, sketches they made, props they sourced and memories they deconstructed. He works in a great space too!
Here is a terribly quick photosynth I tried to do when no one was watching - its just one room of many thats supposed to be a storage space for a costume designer but has been appropriated as a stage set of a child's bedroom:

Room within a Room!
