Book excerpt: The physical model is an important communication tool for architects. 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 available. In describing the use of different models in different contexts, the book provides a practical guide to how and why models are used, and what they are used for. This second edition includes more detailed step-by-step exercises, expanded discussion of materials and techniques, updated coverage of digital techniques and new case studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything a student, professional, or hobbyist needs to know about creating high-quality models for study and presentation. Modelmaking is about building a three-dimensional and reduced-scale representation of a structure or architectural intervention. Models possess a double significance: on the one hand, they are scale representations of projects; on the other hand, they are themselves objects endowed with expressive significance. Advanced Architectural Modelmaking explains the key techniques used to create architectural presentation models. A comprehensive reference for anyone who makes models, either by hand or with the help of a computer, this book covers the basic characteristics of architectural models as a form of representation, the materials and tools used, and the processes involved, considering both the theoretical aspects and main techniques. A step-by-step guide illustrates the entire procedure involved in creating five different types of architectural models. An ideal testing ground for investigating new physical and material solutions, models constitute an intermediate phase in the architectural process between the initial idea and final construction. An essential instrument in presenting and communicating designs, they also help in assessing and checking the solutions that have been conceived, allowing the structural organization and the spatial and massing composition of the work to be reproduced, as well as showing details of the construction: materials, colors, textures, and interrelationships with the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Architectural modelmakers have long carried out their work hidden behind the scenes of architectural design, and in presenting a history of architectural modelmaking in Britain for the first time, this book casts a new light on their remarkable skills and achievements. By telling the story of the modelmakers who make architectural models rather than architects who commission and use them, this book seeks to celebrate their often-overlooked contribution to the success and endurance of the architectural model in Britain over the past one hundred and forty years. Drawing from extensive archival research and interviews with practicing and retired modelmakers, this book traces the complete history of architectural modelmaking in Britain from its initial emergence as a specialist occupation at the end of the nineteenth century through to the present day. It reveals the legacy of John Thorp, the first professional architectural modelmaker in Britain, who opened his business in London in 1883, and charts the lives and careers of the innovative and creative modelmakers who followed him. It examines the continually evolving materials, tools, and processes of architectural modelmaking and outlines the profound ideological, economic, and technological influences that have shaped the profession’s development. Illustrated with over one hundred photographs of architectural models from previously undocumented archives, this book will be of great interest to architectural modelmakers, academics, and historians, as well as anyone with an interest in architectural history and modelmaking.
