My concept was a decorative, "just for show" kind of ornamental castle. I had no clear image to take inspiration from, I just created it. I wanted it to appear intricate, but not habitable. The castle's design is very much an appearance- based one. The architecture of the model would be simple, but the materials would elevate the design and aesthetic.

Techniques:
Creating the model involved using join and Boolean union. I created the pillars themselves with the Polyline tool, and the rest of the shapes were solids. I used Boolean difference to make the cutouts within the bases; the large rectangle, window indents, and the shapes in the front base part. I extruded the shapes made by the Polyline tool and joined them to the solid pyramid shapes. Creating symmetry was a bit difficult, but the Mirror was helpful in that, as was Copy and Paste.

The materials used in the model were Brass Rough 10 mm Hexagonal Mesh for the base, and Gem Stone Tourmaline for the top turrets. Gem Stone Rose Quartz was used for the lower base spikes, and Gem Stone Smoky Quartz for the pillars. The turrets all match in materials, to create a sense of unity. The strange cutouts of the brass add interest to the base rectangle. Overall, the materials come together in a dainty, ornate castle.
