1:1 Model

 This is my final 1:1 model where the jigsaw pieces have been laser cut.  However my concrete did not last and was stood on at the crit so it crumbled.  There was not enough time left before the crit in order for the concrete to dry therefore I had no unscrew the mold on the spot in the level 3 exhibition space.









As shown in the photos below the concrete crumbled due to insufficient water in some parts.  Also i think because I filled the centre with polystyrene to make it lighter, there were some parts in which only a few centimetres of concrete were holding it together therefore it wasn't as strong as it could've been.
