Concrete.

I am very happy with my final result and am proud of my testing towards it

Possibly in a bigger thicker shape it would hold together but just to be sure i will avoid this ratio

but also by shaking the mix more and making sure i completely mix the mix together so it is 1 continuous mixture

Possibly more water too

While trying to find white oxide i found the price to be far too much so i will let the bottom halve fade in time it should lighten up quite a bit and be a good contrast to the black

The choice of concrete as a material was because of the purity, honesty and straight forward ness to it. My building was about clean simple thing not confusing the user but to have them explore the space by being interested. Concrete walls provide a sleek pure finish and honest to what it actually is. There is no guessing concrete. It Is Concrete

I have made 4 different molds using the guillotine and bender techniques that William showed me. These include my final size mold, as well as 3 smaller molds as I realized that if I kept testing ideas out on the 1:2 scale mold that I would be wasting lots of materials. I Wanted to be able to test out mixes and ratios for my cement to get the best finish I could so to save on materials I made 3 smaller boxes to pour in.

Using the Guillotine and Bender at the workshop I was practicing to see how I would for a mold for my block. I learnt that i had to bend it a certain way to get the angles to work right and the i would have to bend the edges of the sheet to create wings to stop it from bowing
