Birkhauser Architecture and Modelbuilding: Concepts, Methods, Materials
Architectural models are used at various stages of a project. As working models they support the design process: they are made up from time to time using simple materials, such as cardboard, without any attempt at accuracy, and continue to be adjusted and added to as the ideas and the design progress. The point here is to swiftly check a design idea, to allow it to be continued or dismissed. Presentational models are more involved; at this stage the design has been completed and the purpose of the model is to convey the ideas to the potential user in a clear and easy-to-understand way. The book Architecture and Model Building includes outstanding examples explaining the possibilities of this medium and, at the same time, provides comprehensive information on materials and techniques.

Birkhauser Basics Modelbuilding
Models are spatial presentations of architectural concepts, miniature representations of the proposed buildings. Better than any drawing or computer simulation, they help to create a better spatial impression of the projected building, because anybody looking at a model can select the angle of view and thereby obtain a personal impression of the space. Designing and presenting a design concept with the help of a model is an important step in creating an awareness of the intended design. Basics Model Building provides students with concise knowledge of model typologies, materials, tools, and techniques for the professional creation of working and presentation models. The new edition of this successful volume has been updated and supplemented, in particular in the field of digital model building.
