Model Making Studio

An architectural model is a tool often used to express a building design or master plan. The model represents architectural ideas and can be used at all stages of design. An architectural model shows the scale and physical presence of a proposed design.

The model is a 3-dimensional replica or expression of the design, usually at a scale much smaller than full size. Traditionally, architectural models were made exclusively by hand using materials such as foam board, balsa wood, and card, but more recent developments in technologies have seen the use of digital methods such as laser cutting and 3D printing.
