For my final project I wanted to design and build the Denver Art Museum, or rather the exterior. I had big goals of doing even more buildings from downtown Denver but even this proved to be harder than expected. I ended up rendering it to be wood and for the outdoor structures to be copper.

Below is my model currently. I need to work on it some more but I am pretty happy with the shapes and how I’ve made each piece so far. If campus was still open I would probably try to laser cut this and make a pretty big model of it. I am currently planning to create the museum out of paper. Potentially cardboard? Not sure. I also attached a picture that I used from google street view to design it.

These are my objects that would live outside the museum. I thought that taking something that was already there and altering it a little would be entertaining. I wanted to make the sweeping into the dust pan but did not have enough time.

I used Fusion 360 to look at what my object would look like, and then looked at whether it would look good with paper folding. I think the building does lend itself to being modeled with paper as a lot of the pieces of the building are pointy. I would have done cuts probably 90 degrees from the top to do a laser cut if this was still possible.
