Noemi Fulop 

BA [Hons] 3D Design Modelmaking + Digital Art

Meet Noemi, a Dublin based model maker and mural artist. With a background in sculpture and fine art, she’s been an integral part of festival decor crews over the years as she thrives on hands-on creative projects. Model making is a dream come true, she hopes to be forever involved in the arts and production of worlds and wonders.

People have built these buildings using a combination of biotechnology and nanotechnology. Biotechnology is the use of living organisms or their products to create or modify materials, devices, or processes. Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter at the atomic or molecular scale to create new structures, properties, or functions. By using these technologies, people can create bio-mechanical systems that are partly organic and partly mechanical, and that can adapt to the underwater environment and coexist with the aquatic life.
The mechanic tentacles are flexible and strong appendages that can extend and retract to manipulate objects, transport materials, or defend the city from threats. They are part of the bio-mechanical system of the city and are controlled by a central intelligence.​
The ‘crown’ part of the building is a large organic structure that resembles a flower or a coral. It's also a source of oxygen, light, and heat for the city.​
It has many cavities that house the apartment pods, which are spherical living units that can detach and float in the water. These pods can detach and reattach or form new complexes.
Bio-luminescent organisms to provide natural, energy-efficient lighting inside the structure, reducing the need for artificial lighting.​

Models: The Citites of Akuam

Imagine a fantasy movie that takes you to an underwater world, where the buildings are alive and ever-changing. They are not made of bricks or steel, but of organic and bio-mechanical materials that can grow and adapt. The city is home to humans who dwell in pods that serve as their apartments. These pods can detach and reattach to form new complexes, or even travel across the ocean floor on their own.
This is the vision and intention that the models communicate to the audience.

Thesis: Sustainable and Natural Techniques in Model Making and Other Industries - 2024

This thesis examines sustainable model making, emphasizing event design, architecture, and the toy industries. It introduces traditional materials and methods, highlights their natural sources, and showcases their evolution toward eco-friendly practices. The research objectives and rationale are presented, along with examples of applying sustainable materials in the industry. The thesis concludes by emphasizing the importance of harmonizing designs with nature and fostering interconnectedness.
