In terms of model making, the structural and cultural characteristics of the building are the basis of my design, such as the repeated architectural layout composed of circular walls, the internal structure ascending from inside to outside, and the holes in the outer wall for defense, etc.
The special texture and color of kraft paper can best express the precipitation brought by history. If there is enough time, I will upgrade the material and use more comprehensive materials to make the visual and tactile effects more detailed.
In terms of production details, the holes in the outer wall and the position of the eyes derived from the holes add interest to the whole.
In addition, in order to show the complete model structure to people more intuitively, I connected the internal walls with ribbons, so that when the outer layer of the model is lifted, the internal structural layers will be raised separately, which is convenient for the internal structure to show.
In the production of eaves, with appropriate width of kraft paper, folded into the same rectangle, and each rectangle interwoven with solid glue for fixing, so as to shape the eaves and solve the problem of material is not strong.
After making it by myself, I deeply felt the centripetal force and influence of the clan represented by the tulou. I think for the residents, this may be the courage to pay for their families that is difficult for outsiders to understand.
