Basics Modelbuilding

More about the book

Models are spatial presentations of architectural concepts, miniature representations of the proposed buildings. Better than any drawing or computer simulation, they help to create a better spatial impression of the projected building, because anybody looking at a model can select the angle of view and thereby obtain a personal impression of the space. Designing and presenting a design concept with the help of a model is an important step in creating an awareness of the intended design. Basics Model Building provides students with concise knowledge of model typologies, materials, tools, and techniques for the professional creation of working and presentation models. The new edition of this successful volume has been updated and supplemented, in particular in the field of digital model building.
