Coal Loader, Concept Design Progress.

I initially begin to explore my concept through drawing as it was the most flexible medium to express my ideas and the multitude of forms. Most are just rough sketches, showing different iterations of how to incorporate the arches and how these forms relate to one another and the site.
My initial concept model was made in balsa, however I soon realised how limiting this medium was for my concept. Because of the difficulty in shaping the material to my desire, and the intricacy of the small scale which the 1:500 model required, I switched to paper and masking tape. As a result, through this more suitable medium I was able to begin making experimenting with the arched form and explore the idea further in three dimensional form.
