Architects' models serve as bridge between an idea and its realization.
Models are one of the three means by which an architect invents and
develops his design: sketch-model-computer model. No other
representational form is as effective in enabling the viewer to perceive
the spaces, shapes, surfaces and textures created by the architect's
design -- it is therefore a prerequisite in the design process.
Architectural Models provides clear and comprehensible instruction
explaining how design ideas can be skillfully translated into models.
Some 200 black and white illustrations and, new to this edition, more
than 40 extraordinary, full color photographs, provide a comprehensive
visual explication of the text. In this completely revised edition, the
authors convey practical basics and offer a wealth of innovative and
valuable suggestions for students of architecture or graphic arts, as
well as for experienced architectural model makers.
