[REFLECTION]



I'm from discipline of Architecture, practicing metal shaping provides me with more knowledge of how shapes are formed and opens up my imagination. I'm starting to understand how different shapes can have extraordinary effects. I've also gained knowledge of metal as a material, how it is so flexible that enables unusual form. This will be very helpful in my future life as an architect!

[WEEK 6-13] FERRARI 250GTO

WORK OF THE WEEKS - FERRARI 250GTO [WEEK 6] Last assignment we fabricated a bowl, a torus, a tray and a blister. From that I developed basic metal shaping skills such as shrinking and stretching, forming curved surfaces, forming sharp edges, shaping with templates. With these techniques, I'm ready to work on a more complex metal shaping task. For assignment two we have to model a Ferrari 250 gto (scaled down) in a group of 6. I grouped up with friends from same discipline (Architecture) as we have same schedule and group work experience. This greatly enhances our efficiency and cooperation.
