Fabrication 1: Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe Techniques: Laser cutting, patinating metals, veneer Materials: Acrylic (clear & opaque), recycled texture paper, brass sheets Scale: 1:75 Step 1 – Dimensioning in AutoCad/Rhino and 3D Modelling in SketchUp for reference Separating out the different drawings according to the materials and their thickness - walls, roof and doors/windows. These are the roof elements in 3mm thick clear acrylic. The floor plates are cut in 3mm thick opaque white acrylic, and engraved with 1300x1300mm squares as representation of the white stone tiles. Outlines of the walls are also engraved to help with alignment during the assembly process later. Internal and external walls are cut to size with 2mm thick opaque white acrylic, with external walls engraved to represent the stone tiles as well. Opening the AutoCAD files in the laser cutting templates on Rhino in preparation to be cut. Step 2 – Assembly & Surfac
