  1. Physical models for interior design:models simulate various kinds of construction & various kinds of spaces

  2. Physical models are valuable to designing people • Physical models appeal to our senses in ways that are fundamentally human. • Physical models are ‘real’ in ways that are unlike digital models. • Physical models raise possibilities that other modes do not.

  3. paper models of building sized spaces

  4. simple form, surface, and opening model

  5. wood models of wall, structure

  6. realistic space and objects

  7. delicate pieces, massive pieces, planes, lines: for a model to be engaging, interesting, there mustbe a variety of contrasting pieces

  8. A physical model needs to contain something that is visually interesting! • Physical models need to contain pieces that are: • surfaces and lines, large and small, thick and thin, open and closed, monochrome and polychrome. • The level of detail, or visual articulation, can suggest that quality in the actual, built, space, even though it is not going to be exactly the same in the built space as in the model.

  9. simple modelsa simple model is like a short phrase“hi what’s up”

  10. photo collages

  11. a massing study

  12. A more complex model is like a sentence:“this is going to be a space with repeated elements, each of which is a geometric form, connecting to a base that is a contrasting solid”

  13. a very large vertical section drawing

  14. These models contain many pieces. This is why the models are interesting.

  15. a very ‘realistic’ interior model, vs. a ‘suggestive’, or possibility-raising model

  16. models made of heavy white paper, grey chipboardclean, simple materials can create a coherent and unified model.

  17. strong color against white fieldregular, geometric, repetition of pieces

  18. a wood construction in a building atrium space

  19. delicate pieces of wood, and wood & plexiglas, carefully assembled

  20. heavy white paper, balsa wood ‘sticks’

  21. simulating lighting conditions in white model

  22. showing primary components, structure, order

  23. A typical model showing the exterior shell of a building.(model by Technical Models Ltd., UK)

  24. The house features a two-storey custom wood shelving unit that wraps from the first-floor office space to the second-floor living room. The unique shelving showcases the client's vast library and ceramic art collection and unites the main entry with the second-floor living spaces. Cube architects.
