Upcycle Design Report – Organic Architecture

For my upcycle report I pursued the aesthetic of organic architecture. I went about doing this by creating a miniature house based on the aesthetic and using the Falling Water house by Frank Lloyd Wright as inspiration for the house. I created the house and base out of carboard. I used a broken flower pot and used it both as a water feature representing waves or ripples in the river as well as rocks to blend in with the nature theme. I used wooden sticks as highlights on the house as well as for the porch and bridge. I used a paper bag as canopy for both the gazebo across the river and for the 2nd level deck covering. I added Lego leaves on top of the canopies to blend in the theme of nature as if there were like tree leaves providing shade.

In the future I plan to clean up some of the edges and get rid of some of the glue that overflowed. Also planning on making furniture and potentially using empty cans and adding a metallic look to the walls. This is all personal touches I want to make so I can display it on my shelf.

Materials Used:

• Cardboard: 1 USP box, 1 tissue box, 1 Lego Box
• Wood Elements: Kebab sticks and toothpicks
• 1 broken flower pot
• Paper bag
• left over Legos
• A whole lot of hot glue sticks
