ASA 2021 ONLINE STEAM EXPO

PROJECT SUMMARY

I worked on an website called Tinkercad, which allows you to build something with many shapes. It also allows you to adjust the height and size for every shape and create a building with it. I built an Asian-like temple with many rectangles/squares and combined it to make decorations/floors.

WHY?

I did this project because of the digital design class, it was an assignment. It was hard to move them where I wanted to because not only you have to look from the front, but also sideways and sometimes from the top.

HOW?

To solve this problem, copy/pasting was an easier way to have your building complete. In my case, there were many repeated patterns so you didn't have to move your shapes every single time, but only do it once.

WHAT?

I found out many "hidden" tools from this website that facilitates you in many ways. For example, you can lock the shapes to not get them move in case you accidentally touch it.

SO WHAT?

The result of my work is important because I had a chance to learn a tool which may be useful in the future. Maybe my future career options expanded into architecture. If I am going to have projects or works that consists in building/3D shapes, then I might use this experience and website as an advantage.

WHAT'S NEXT?

To extend/improve my project, maybe I could look more specifically into the sizes of each shape, and make them all fit the same (using numbers). The next time I do another building on Tinkercad, I might look at other references and learn from it since their works are more accurate.

REFERENCES/ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I used the Japanese Styled Temple by thecorona as a reference. The style is similar, it mainly contains red and black blocks. I liked how this person covered the first floor with red bricks as a decoration, so I did the same but styled it differently. I didn't have an exact idea at start. But, as I went on, more ideas came up to me and in the end, each floor had different decorations but it had the same asian-like style.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

This Japanese style temple is awesome! You capture the style of architecture brilliantly with an eye for detail and symmetry. I enjoyed reading how you could apply this knowledge to a potential future in architecture/design. What other details would you add to this if you had more time?
