Description

Architectural model of St Mary Woolnoth, a church located in the city of London, opposite Bank. I've designed the model to be an exact replica of the church, and I designed a base for the miniature church to be displayed on. The base contains 4 3D printed relief engravings which show the history and key events the church has been through. I then integrated 2 lamp posts into the model to provide lighting and making it even more aesthetically pleasing. Here's a link to the miniature lamps I used.

 

Story of the Plaques:

 

  1. Platonic solids: This plaque shows the 5 platonic solids linked to the 5 elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water & Space), these shapes were linked to the elements by the great philosopher Plato. The earth was linked to the shape of a cube, so the architect of St Mary Woolnoth, Wren & Hawksmoor decided to design the church according to the shape of a cube. A cube represents the earth, but also perfection, as it is equal in all dimensions and sits stable on any face!
  2. Amazing Grace: A hymn written by John Newton. John Newton was a captain of a slave ship and an investor of the slave trade, after which he became a rector at St Mary Woolnoth.
  3. Northern Line Construction: In the late 1900s, the church was going to be demolished due to the construction of Bank station. Public protests saved the church however the crypt beneath it was incorporated into the station. Due to the Cubic shape of the church, not a single crack formed, during the construction of the Northern Line.
  4. Timeless Church: The church has stood in the City of London for a very long time, so this plaque thanks the service it has provided to its community.
