Learn about how I make architectural models in this two part tutorial series. In part 1 I'll show you the materials I chose, why I chose them and a few alternatives. I discuss why you would choose one modeling style over another, how to conceptualize what to model and how a few simple tweaks can make a big difference in the esthetics of your architectural models.
I talk about my model making heroes, my workflow, and you'll learn why models constructed using planes to render space rather than block-like forms, offer a more realistic depiction of architectural space. This modeling style is realistic and suggestive, yet still open-ended leaving room for interpretation.

an architect who can make models, is like a fashion designer who can actually draw or make illustrations. That means they really have great talent.

Yes but some professors require you to do a digital model, and is easier to do a digital model because you have more options. (Edited) Aspesely now with covid, doing a digital model in a group is easier. On my opinion.

@@malaksameh9994 Well, I suppose a physical model provides ability for expansion when it comes to viewing and scale. It makes things easier to see, however I understand that digital models can also anticipate interception when you’re looking for handy-dandy portability.

Enjoying your video greatly, I’m a older gentleman that had the chance to go back to my first love of Architecture drafting due disability from the military, and the training was all computer CAD and 3D printing, know modeling, which I had the chance during High school, yep that old, and still love it. I have told my students in a technical college about your channel in hopes they will put up a chair and watch all so, keep up the great job, and from myself thank you for these videos

@MANaboutTOOLS 5 лет назад

Well done! Yet again! That takes me back to model making in my vocational High School. I was lucky enough to have an Architecture class available along with other shop classes. There was little instruction for model building; here's the materials and some glue.

@joserosa5342 5 лет назад

Right Now u are my architect to emulate, not to copy because your way of work makes me happy and gives me chills. That's a good sign to follow your projects, ideas, concepts. Plus I'm following your advice to takes photos about nature, architecture, textures, to make sketches. That advice is really helping me out to learn, to train more my hand for sketching and getting helpful knowledge. Thanks so much Prof. Eric

@Seagirl441 4 года назад

I fell in love with making models (even if they where volumetric or prototypes) when a teacher at my faculty asked me to present my project advances like that, I learned that thinking in three dimentions helped the development of my skills and the reach of my project, just like sketching by hand I believe that making models and playing with shapes is something that as students and architects shouldn't lose

@aerozg 4 года назад

This is exactly the reason i make architectural models. I am not an architect though, i just do it as a hobby. I am a UX/UI designer working for a giant software company designing boring business software using data grids and web forms. The money is great, but there is little to no room for creativity in any way, shape or form. Model making is the design outlet i need to get away from the computer and do something with my hands. Working with your hands and building something tangible is almost medicinal for me. I like the digital stuff but i always felt the real world part is missing for me, and i get such kick out of making my mid-century modern house models. It never gets old. Great video and thank you so much for sharing. Subscribed and following.

I tend to believe that model-making video really makes me calm and relaxed.

I absolutely agree with the problem of early decision making while working on computers, it results in a loss of flexibility.

A wonderful video - very generous in information and presented both professionally and warmly. I used to build models for a living, many years ago, and I would use UHU glue for walls and small elements, super glue for tiny elements, Super 77 to adhere planes to various covering materials and white glue for joining large planes, such as several layers of taskboard to get varying thicknesses of walls.

@RG-ls2db 5 лет назад

Digging those forms and Material contrast. it does take time but it always seems to evoke joy and inspire anyone who sees the finished model. My fave trick it to use fine black wet and dry sandpaper to smooth end / corner joints and remove the fluff from balsa. It makes a model really pop and can erase certain mistakes made by a blade. It represents asphalt driveways really well too.

@JosephHuether 8 месяцев назад

My old office had accumulated boxes ad boxes of various basswood and plexi shapes from decades of study model building. They were extremely helpful and fun to work with. Just print out a site plan / survey drawing, grab the box of shapes and go at it. It helps to squint while viewing your initial “work”. Need something unique or new, start cutting up a new shape on the band saw. Not “presentation model” but a great alternative to trying to manipulate something digital. A century ago most design architects had considerable skills with plastilina…sort of a lost art these days. Great video!
