DESIGN PROCESS
The model is close to its final version. The symmetrical
layout has started to take shape, and the different
heights of the buildings make for an interesting
outline. You can tell that there is a focal point where
the statue is in the middle of the fountain and the
sides extend to fit the two extra buildings. I really get
attached to small details such as the tree shade on
the rooftop of the blacksmith’s shop, so I ended up
adding dried leaves to get a similar effect.
Rough quick
sketches that
helped me get
comfortable
with the
difficult-to-
build shapes
that are
common to
Asian-style
buildings.
The smuggler’s market has stayed mostly untouched
with its open structure. The difficult part was deciding
on a roof. The garage door segments allowed me at
least two options for soft shapes that would reflect
the symbolic style. In the end, the more recognizable
and intricate double roof was chosen. More details
were added with time, such as the fishing rods, crates,
and pathway. I am very fond of the two chickens that
have taken up residence in the vicinity, probably lured
in by the smell of baguettes.
