| Description/Outcomes | Architectural Models are one of the main means by which an architect invents and develops his design. They serve as a bridge between the idea and its realization and are clear and comprehensible examples of how design ideas can be skillfully translated into models. This course encompasses the definitions, analyses, concepts, development and presentation of fundamentals of architectural models. Students learn how to build abstract and architectural forms using different materials such as wood, paper, plaster ….etc. |
