Architectural models are the best way of communicating 3D ideas. Model building teaches you fine technical skills that are easily transferable to other disciplines, and helps you understand design and visualise space. This practical course will help you to understand how to scale down, read technical drawings and find solutions to some of the challenges of model making. Classic model making tips and techniques such as skillful scalpel use, correct material choice, accurate measuring and cutting, gluing, sculpting, vacuum forming and spray painting will all be included.
