Project 1: A Birdhouse
Above are sketches of the Eastern Bluebird for a project that will be explained below.
This is a mood board to inspire me to build a birdhouse for the bird that was mentioned above.
Using the mood board, I was able to concieve three ideas for my birdhouse.
Next I had to build concept models to see how the birdhouse would look with different features.
I was able to create a final concept design and dimensions for my birdhouse.
We then had to recreate the final dimensions and design in AutcoCAD. This gave it a more refined look.
Here is an isometric view and a perspective view of what the birdhouse would look like.
Here is a concept image of what the birdhouse would look like in a backyard.
After creating files for a laser cutting wood machine and using glue, this is a model of the birdhouse at 1/8th scale.
After two months, I was able to complete the first project of this class and present it to my instructors.
