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.

网友对Architectural Modelmaking的评论

I was looking for a book that would provide information and help on making architectural models. This book pretends to provide such information. It is really just a treatise on architectural model making with absolutely no details on how to make a model.

If you're interested in the history of architectural model making then it isn't a bad book. But if you are looking for information on how to make models, techniques and materials, this isn't the book you need.

Everything is nice.
