Wk 8 Studio Activities: Fusion 360 Materials

The materials are based off my interest of the 'man-made' part of the world. Hence most materials represent components of a city or metropolis. Due to the task being concentrated on materials rather than images, I relied on materials to produce the following result.

Overview

Right view - this side is the 'lighter' section of the artificial world - transparency and glass reflecting on the town. 

Left view - the 'heavier' section of the artificial world - processed granite of buildings, the marble top, wood interior. On the base is also some raw materials to symbolise the foundations of the man-made world

My interest of cities and modernism helped shape the materials used in this model. The black granite texture on the left represents materials used in skyscrapers and buildings. The marble strip is what some houses are made of. Glass has strong usage in today's world and hence why it covers most of the right side of the model. Wood on the inside represents the interior of the building; timber floors. Then on the base, is a blacker texture representing earth and raw materials. 

All correlate together to form a metaphorical cityscape where many different materials are required in order to shape the city.
