Master the art of physical model making to explore spatial relationships, test structural ideas, and communicate architectural concepts beyond the limits of two-dimensional design.
Architectural practice is increasingly dominated by powerful digital tools—from BIM environments and real-time rendering engines to virtual reality and digital twins. Yet despite this technological shift, physical architectural models continue to offer something uniquely valuable: a direct, intuitive understanding of space, scale, and form that digital representations often struggle to replicate.
This course explores the enduring and evolving role of physical models in contemporary architecture. It examines how modelmaking supports design development, enhances spatial understanding, and improves communication with clients, planners, and the public. Participants will also explore how traditional craftsmanship and modern fabrication technologies are reshaping the discipline, and how physical and digital workflows can work together to strengthen architectural outcomes.
