So...our wood chopping block was obviously destined for greater things (it has given me a new appreciation for wattle).
Typography in Revit is usually dead easy for 3D/CNC printing but for some reason this model did not give a good STL file - so glad I have a programme (mini magics) at home to check it.
Fixed by recreating the typography as sloping floors - bit crude but then so is the CNC and I can always work on it after (sanding).
Overall effect & link with original concept:
- site plus front part of the house will be cut in CNC as one piece (max height 200mm so just fitted in). Rationale = front sits down within the site but the other rooms do not.
- However, CNC would not do both the site and the buildings (too steep for the tools) so will just have to add those on...
- other rooms will be loose bits of different wood sitting on the separate building pads. Rationale = so you can pick them up to smell - the visual impression of the wood will make you want to do this....different smells using the same logic as the original presentation model
- path will be the space left around the rooms to some extent but will also emphasis this somehow - that is, not too different from the natural typography (sloping, winding) but also distinct somehow - different texture, still not sure how yet
- smells - similar to original model but more emphasis on actual building materials eg. cedar, pine, macrocarpa, maybe the plaster plus rose water if that works, somehow add fragrant plant smell.....?
- plant smells = thyme, rosemary, lavender, rose, mint, lime/lemon, port wine magnolia...
