Model Thinking

Antoni Gaudi

As we consider adding model-making to our conversation and repertoire, here a just a few examples of modeling techniques to get ideas moving. Keep in mind that we will be constructing a group model as well as a series of individual models throughout the semester. Things to think about when discussing the group site model include: scale, ability to add/subtract elements so individual schemes can be inserted, materiality, basic method (stacked contour? casting? foam with bondo? sections?). These sundry techniques all speak to different attitudes about the site, about the audience, and about relation to representation. I will be showing additional examples throughout the semester, but now is a good time to begin to fill in your mental library of model making ideas.
