Es_4 Lab_6_ Albero Mandarino_ Martina_pieri

I decided to study the tangerine because I have it in my garden. First I analyzed the dimensions of the log, of the branches and of the foliage. As it can be seen on the foto the log is not very tall in fact it's 71 cm high and the branches indeed take the greater part of the height (110 cm). The foliage is 154 cm high and it enlarges til having a 400 cm of diameter. I didn't know how to represent the branches but I create a shape that shows them in a conceptual way. 

Fig.1 The mandarin

It will follow a scheme with the different levels and I'll explain at what distances they're located.

Fig.2 Levels:

          inizio tronco-fine tronco= 71 cm

          fine tronco-fine rami= 110 cm

          fine rami- estremo chioma= 50 cm

          estremo chioma-3/4 chioma= 54 cm

          3/4 chioma-fine chioma= 50 cm

First I started with the log and branches...

And then I finished with the foliage:

The image below also explains the various parameters of every radius of every circumference that I create.

At the end I put the tree into the project file of my house to see where it's located.
