Above: Putting my wooden frame structure together, I cut up my big piece of bought 90 by 45 mm post creating a number of vertical posts and cross bracings that were nail gunned by a industry nail gun using 60 mm industrial galvanized steel nails to keep it into place creating a very stable and extremely strong small structure.

Above: The picture shows the back of the L shaped aluminium piece and how the bricks sit on top of its interior, pressed up against the back, allowing the staggered line of cantilevered bricks that make up the unique nature of my 1:1 model.

Above: Front angled view of the cantilevered brick line held up by the aluminium L shaped piece. On the other side of the brick section I will leave a section of the L piece exposed to allow the tutors and viewers to see the inside construction while covering up the metal on the staggered brick side (right side) by use of mortar to give the illusion of a "floating" brick line.

Above: A picture showing blocks holding the cross section wood piece in place and the vertical sections clamped in awaiting nail gunning of the structure . The interior vertical block pieces are later removed.

Above: A front view of my brick section of my 1:1 model. Using a mixture of water and trade mortar I was able to mortar each layer together creating a fairly strong (although brittle structure which I am not too happy about) that also at the same times covers the inner aluminium piece not allowing it to be seen on the right, while still leaving the left aluminium bit exposed to allow the viewers on crit day to see the interior structure.

Above: Another front view of the brick wall shows my attention to detail in fully covering the interior L shaped aluminium piece and the covering of the brick ties allowing for an aesthetic quite clean finish to the 1:1 detail bit.

Above: the back of the brick section has exposed the brick ties that are embedded between the 2nd and 3rd layer of the staggered brick lines, while also from the back the small edge of the aluminium L layer is seen although in real life this would be pinned against the waterproofing and the wooden frame, being invisible to the viewer.

Above: It took some planning in the cutting of the bottom holding aluminium piece as I had to account for gaps for mortar to be placed between the bricks allowing the entire structure to be stuck together. Below is picture of the edge of the staggered brick line still in the workshop and its connection to the barely visible glass pane behind it and how the spaces between the bricks would render the glass layer almost an invisible weather shield allowing that gifting of view both in the office and the train stop spaces.
