The architecture brief series

"Physical models are a uniquely revealing and compelling tool for the architect. More forcefully than any other way of visualizing a building, models represent ideas, as opposed to images. The sensory impact of a physical model, its materiality, is an important step in the design process. Once an idea is materialized, it exists in the real world, and the real world reacts--with limitations or opportunities, which become clear through the process of making. A model not only allows the designer to explore freely while testing out specific ideas but also to advance and communicate his or her ideas effectively to others. Model Making includes an extensive selection of model blocks, handy and in-depth appendices on materials, tools, construction tips and techniques, as well as a glossary of design concepts, providing students and practitioners with the foundation they need to master the art of model making."-- Back cover.
