Model-Making in Architecture: Inspiring Design Development and Communication

Explore the art of model-making in architecture through the lens of the Basketball Arena by Wilkinson Eyre Architects and learn how models are crucial for testing shapes, communicating ideas, and presenting to clients. Models showcase structure, interior spaces, scale, and site-specificity, requiring time, skill, and attention to detail. Whether created by students, architects, or professional model-makers, models serve as tools for collaboration and quick visual communication. Dive into the world of model-making using simple materials like scrap card, paper, glue, and tape to unleash your creativity and explore design concepts. Start with sketch models and play with techniques to enhance your design skills for current and future projects. Visit www.architecture.com/inspiredbydesign to get inspired.
