Architecture and Modelbuilding: Concepts, Methods, Materials

By Alexander Schilling

A tool for students and professionals

Architectural models are used at various stages of
a project. As working models they support the design process: they are
made up from time to time using simple materials, such as cardboard,
without any attempt at accuracy, and continue to be adjusted and added
to as the ideas and the design progress. The point here is to swiftly
check a design idea, to allow it to be continued or dismissed.
Presentational models are more involved; at this stage the design has
been completed and the purpose of the model is to convey the ideas to
the potential user in a clear and easy-to-understand way.

The book Architecture and Model Building
includes outstanding examples explaining the possibilities of this
medium and, at the same time, provides comprehensive information on
materials and techniques.

Unequalled due to its focus on materials and techniques By the author of the successful Basics Model Building, it continues the successful volume providing more in-depth information Numerous practical tips, clear explanations, concrete examples
