Following the workshop in Geneva, we had to recreate a territorial cut of the Rhône at scale 1:666 x 1:200.

Mock-up of the territorial cut at point A

Everything starts with a drawing :

Left side
Right side

Mold in the making :

Shape of our territorial cut
Cardboard support on both sides
One side all put together

Before molding :

After closure

Results

Using food coloring and natural elements such as soil, different sections were made.
Color tests
Final look

With this project, we realised that the theme « measures » fit perfectly since they are fundamental to us, as future architects, who will use measures for the dimensions of a model prior to scaling it to its full-size or for making mock-ups like the one above.
