ARCH1142 - Workshop4: Model It


This workshop is quite different with the previous model workshop. This one is more focus on the foundamental skills in model making. Although it does not require too much creativity, making neat and brilliant models really takes a lot of time and practises.


In the first week, we are asked to make three simple houses to explore some basic techniques in model making with different materials.


The second week model is the exploration of drafting model which we can develop the details in the second, and the third models. Throughout this process, we are able to develop a final model.


This model is a corner of the Fisher House designed by Louis Kahn. We are focusing on more about the interior design this time.
