The wide range of existing adhesives makes it possible to grip all elements together. When gluing, you should keep in mind the following: The stability of the material to the solvent The shape and size of the surface The preparation of the surface Bonding means joining elements through a layer of [...]
Together with paper and cardboard, wood and its derivatives are the most used materials in the construction of the models. Wooden objects, from the base to the details of the thin rods, are resistant and relatively easy to work with. The solid wood - It has its own colour and texture. [...]
The designer needs gypsum to make or add corrections, or even to make a piece of land model or an object. There are workshops specializing in proportioning matrix for entire models but we have to manipulate models, modify the terrain, mark the streets, roads and later incorporate the edifice model. In [...]
The conceptual scale models are simultaneously created by the first drawings. They do not require any special training, including it could hinder more than just the development of the project. An auxiliary table adjacent to the drawing, some basic tools (see the previous chapter) and a background made up of materials [...]
The detail models of part of the edifice project the particularly complicated or repetitive elements. These details can be of a constructive nature, but they can also be decorative. With this type of model, the problems of shape, materials, surface textures and colours can be solved. Levels ranged from 1:10 to [...]
These models usually have a general, unique interior space or a sequence in a space. The mission of interior spaces models, carried out at a level of 1: 100 to 1:20, consists of reflecting spatial, functional and lighting problems. Furniture, materials and colours are usually chosen using a model of the [...]
The Greenfield Residential Complex Model-© BLUEPRINT ARCHITECTURE The group of overall architectural scale models is divided into urban architectural models, building architectural models, structural architectural models, models of interior spaces and special architectural models. All of them have in common the description, first of all, of the special, artistic and [...]
We call the architectural model of a garden the partial representation of a landscape architectural model to a higher level: 1: 500, 1: 200, and 1: 100 and in special cases 1:50. These architectural models are used when it is necessary to design the free areas of a neighbourhood, a small [...]
The scale model of a land includes the topographical characteristics, the shape of the land and the changes made in the new project. The model of a land consists of fenced surfaces, the roads and the water slides and also the trees and the groups of the most important trees. The [...]
The topographic architectural models are used to reproduce an existing land, garden, or landscape. Some themes of reproduction of urban spaces such as parks, playgrounds or cemeteries might be added to them. Reproduction at the level of streets and centres belongs to both this group and to the architectural model with [...]
In general, in the architectural scale models there are presented bodies, surfaces and bars. These bulky, planimetric or linear bases are used, for example, to represent edifices in an urban mode, facades and walls in a model of a section of an edifice and pillars, or details specific to the architectural [...]
Architecture is not only generated by drawings and layouts but is also fundamentally represented through these two means of communication. In the exercise of the architectural profession, the construction of the architectural models is one of the most important themes. Thus, both the architect and the student learn, in addition to [...]
Why 3D Print Architectural Modelling is the Next In-thing in Architectural Design Today’s architectural industry landscape has become increasingly competitive. Everything has gone fast-paced due to the growing number of talent and the widespread of information. Thus, to meet the exigent tastes of the clients without missing the project’s deadline, attention [...]
What is Rapid Prototyping in Architectural Model Making? At the early stage of model making, a sketch must be produced in order to study the different aspects of your planned design. Then, a model is resembled crudely and rapidly in order to get urgent feedback. This model is called a rapid [...]
Blueprint Architecture started back in 2002 in Bucharest. Since then, they have compiled a large number of clients. They have also started construction exceptional real estate development models using computer aided design (CAD) renderings. Working with leading real estate architects and developers, they’ve gained lots of experience in creating complex and [...]
Architecture is a general term to describe buildings and other physical structures. The field of architecture has contributed a lot to the society. In the past, human settlements were plainly rural due to lack of architecture. Eventually, the discovery of architecture transformed rural societies into urban cities. Architectural heritage is essential [...]
Technology has affected the way architects do their work, especially when creating blueprints and models. Aside from 3D technology to preserve their models, they can use laser cutting technology to accurately create their models and replicate an actual building. But what makes laser cutting technology especially useful in creating architectural models? [...]
Exploring the Inner World of Architectural Model Making There is a small yet wonderful industry in model making. In New York, there are only about four to five well-known model making firms. These firms accept orders from other countries like Singapore, Israel, Canada, etc. So, you might think that the industry [...]
Architects will tell you that it takes something more than skills in order to build something great. Aside from being adept in building something from scratch, you need to have creativity. Skyscrapers are not made by people who solely know to sketch and create precise measurements. Designing architecture and its model [...]
In the most recent exhibition held at the National Building Museum, twenty-four architects and designers are tasked to design dollhouse inspired miniature dream houses. The resulting works of art are exquisite. Different styles are employed, but the unanimous notion is that the whole exhibit is dreamlike. Mars Tokyo Design’s “Reverie of [...]
Real estate agents goal is to sell homes and building structures. This can only be achieved if they have a strong marketing scheme and a good portfolio. You must present designs that are appealing to your customers. In creating picturesque homes and buildings, you need to use the right technologies. You [...]
