The architectural model is the ultimate representation of a building’s
design. More than technical drawings or sketches, the architectural
model has the ability to communicate the entire concept of a building
and its spatial effects.
When executed with skill and care, some
architectural models can be considered artwork on their own. But the
architectural model is evolving. Many designers have stopped using
traditional physical models made of wood, paper and glue and have
switched to digital means of representation. While something may be lost
in the rush to digitize design methods, new technologies offer
different ways of thinking that can achieve results never possible
through other means.
Architectural design is now at an interesting
intersection of digital and physical means of model making. This exhibit
hopes to show how the architectural model is a changing art form that
continues to be a critical method of representation of an architectural
design. The exhibition hopes to include examples of traditional
hand-built models and models that incorporate contemporary digital
technologies.
