Gateway through a learning experience

Model of the exterior space where our gateway was going to erected.

First ideation. The groupd models. We all had the same basic idea.

How to make it structurly stable. This idea was actually used to hold up our arch.

The group deep in though.


OCULUS!


Looked cool as a model but completly was defiying gravity.
EPIC FAIL



arches were cardboard ovelapped and bolted together.



"holy cow that big"


trip to Lowes. We met with our friend Andre who helped figure out how much wood we needed.(he also supplied us with cardboard) "THANKS ANDRE!"


A lot of wood and not enough car space.






Basic frame shape.



Attempting a sort of pannaling system which was then removed.



Ok, so we got the thing up...now what?



Well i like oculi so lets install that.

an arch! I guess we can stand here for our critique. they'll never notice.
we actually added beams like in one of out sketch models.




wall paper to block out the light.




the final product.
This was deffinatly a learning experience. The actual project didn't go as planned but i have learned what i could have to to make it work much better.
