A model in parts with inserts, showing the phased demolition and construction of a housing estate. Each of the five phases was modelled as existing and as proposed, so the pieces can be interchanged to show the progress of the development. The surrounding context was modelled using subtle shades and textures, while the proposed development was modelled using a carefully selected tonal palette. The new buildings were constructed using acrylic blocks with plywood facades.
The base of the model was also made in parts - it divided into three for ease of handling the model.
