I have made my model out of cardboard as it is easier to alter if I change my design once seeing how it functions as a model.

Joining it together I am using a combination of masking tape and glue to tightly bind the edges together.

To tidy up the edges and create clean surfaces I have covered the cardboard with white paper.

To simulate the mirrors I used thin wire for the frames and tinfoil as the mirror. I don’t like how messy this looks as you can’t have full manipulation over the wire. I think next time I’ll use a laser cutter to get the fine details into my design.

As I assembled my model I noticed there was an empty space on either side of the stair way which would be reflected into the mirrors. I didn’t want the reflection of those inlets to mix with the reflection of the city so I added a wall on either side of the window to externalise the sides of the staircase and create a clean, flat surface at the front of the gallery space.
