Goodwood Art Foundation

For the model of WILDINGxWHY’s conceptual design for the Goodwood Art Foundation, it was important that every element was made from white oak. To create the terrain, we applied white oak wood shavings across the surface in multiple densities. This allowed us to highlight different landscape elements, including paved and gravel paths, grassy areas, and denser vegetation. We created this series of samples to show the client the range of surface textures before applying the finish to the larger model.

Goodwood Art Foundation

A closer look at the conceptual model of the Goodwood Art Foundation, designed by WILDINGxWHY @wildingxwhy . We used interior lighting to highlight the proposed designs for the Hathill House and the site’s new pavilion within the larger masterplan. To match the white oak terrain finish, we integrated custom painted seafoam trees throughout the landscape.

Goodwood Art Foundation

The conceptual model for the Goodwood Art Foundation, designed by WILDING X WHY, was fabricated predominantly out of white oak with an emphasis on the surrounding landscape. The terrain features a wood shaving finish with varied densities to distinguish different landscape elements. Featured buildings across the site are illuminated from within to highlight WHY’s designs of the Hathill House and the new pavilion.

The model is currently on display at the Goodwood Art Foundation in the UK.

Echo Pond

This archive model showcases @of_possible and @nsbuilders’s Echo Pond residence, a Scandinavian-inspired home. The model was made using a 3D-printed base finished with maple veneer, which was stained black to reflect the pine tar finished plywood mega-shingles that define the home’s facade.

262 Fifth Ave Site Model

For the restoration of this project, we thoroughly cleaned and refinished the model with multiple coats of stain blocker and a fresh coat of paint. Throughout the process, we carefully preserved the original character and building textures as intended, enhancing its overall appearance while maintaining the initial feel.

The model is currently on display at Five Points Development Group's New York office, with overall dimensions of 10'x5'x3'.

262 Fifth Ave Site Model

This project is the restoration of an eight-year-old site model originally built in Russia and transported to New York for display at Five Point Development Group's Manhattan office.

When we received the model, it showed significant wear, including many stains and several broken or missing buildings. We added ten new high-rises to reflect the updated skyline and remade four existing buildings that needed updating.

ArchiTypology - Large Scale Detail Models 

This is the final stage of our ArchiTypology project with @ultimaker where we developed select massing models from the earlier stage into large-scale detail models.

All parts of the models are 3D printed in PLA, from the towers and surrounding context to the base, showcasing 3D printing's versatility for both rapid prototyping and high-resolution detail models. See our previous posts for the full process of ArchiTypoplogy.
