内容简介
The physical scale model is often cited as an important tool
of communication for architecture students and practitioners alike.
Although the proliferation of CAD programmes has enabled the
creation of increasingly complex computer models and virtual
environments, there is also a growing need to address the
three-dimensional qualities of architecture that may be lost when
using such media. This book focuses on the inspiring possibilities
for modelling the built environment with all the different media
and techniques that are now available. Through de*ion of the
use of different models in different contexts, the book provides a
practical and effective guide to how and why models are used, in
addition to what they are used for, and, furthermore, how they
relate to architecture education. Following a brief introduction,
the book is divided into three sections: Media, Types and
Applications. The book is generously illustrated with photographs
of models, accompanying commentaries, and step-by-step practical
instructions on the various techniques associated with modelmaking.
"Architectural Modelmaking" will provide a concise yet broad
'toolbox' for students of architecture.
