is anybody here to suggest me something about my tasks.... :'( I am a very new duckin in Architectural world.. just started my study and missed the briefing classes :( but I am going blind... ..... Tasks maybe very easy to you guys....
Thank you for this tutorial. While it's clear this series was prepared for architectural students who are in need of instruction in the rudiments of model making, the clear presentation of these basic elements has allowed me to take advantage of numerous other online tutorials more effectively.
Architectural Models: Construction Techniques by Wolfgang Knoll and Martin Hechinger is a good book. It goes into a variety of model making techniques and presents them in a clear & concise way. Thanks for watching! :)
@ChicagoArchToday Hi. may i ask a question? im creative when it comes to modeling, buildings, and many more. may i ask a question about this, is it okay if you make a project or model a building like sydney bridge, or anything else you could see in our world or you need to create your own? invent? pls reply thank you.
Plexiglas is a good material to consider but may be a bit rigid; also look into thinner more flexible plastics like cellophane sheets are more affordable and can purchased a art supplies stores like Dick Blick
A foam core board model is good for constructing and studying the basic shape of the structure. But, if you want to see the actual building materials including siding, roofing and details, I recommend building with the 3-D Home Kit, which can be found online. You can also combine the foam core board and material sheets from the kit.
plexiglas is preferable and you can get it in varying thicknesses, but another option could be the clear plastic that's used to window some envelopes and commercial products
I used to use matchsticks to build model houses, then I went over to make them from plaster and later on a mixture of cement with plaster. For the walls I used to make molds with layed in openings for windows and doors, for this I used a rubber mat, to pop them out easier, after they were dry. I also have made some houses with "Billing Boat" wooden strips, etc. and Birch triplex of 1, 2 and 3 mm thickness. Now I would like to use Foamboard, which is mostly used by Architects, it's easy to cut.
Actually it was composed by Thomas Newman and it's from the movie American Beauty...it is called 'Arose' you know architecture is a serious intellectual thing i'm surprised an intern and/or a firm would claim it as theirs...
Hi, i have a project due in 3 weeks. Im re constructing the Pantheon in Rome... What would be the best material to use? Also, how should i attempt the dome shape at the back? And the pillars at front? Thanks.
thanks for writing! you can make a model of any structure that interests you especially if its just for you but if its for a class you might be limited by what your teacher or classmates want to do.
@Justin it depends what kind of curve you are going for? I made a curved bridge out of wood by laser cutting pieces from a side view until it was the right thickness.
i want this material..
How would you go about making organic shapes?

Thanks for the videos, will definitely help with getting down perspective in my drawings.

Balsa wood is a good soft material to work with

I'm not for sure how loud this is but I'm deaf and can lip read. But it looks like you're mumbling and I can't stand mumblers!

another issue with foam core is not recyclable, and is banned from my college.
chipboard (grey) and cardboard are my favorite!

I would suggest foam because its easier to carve out the shapes you may need for this and would require cheaper,simpler tools
I really want to make one model in my spare time,it is hard to find the video teaching source in China, Thank you for your videos guys.

@Majezzztika
origami bucky domes
check out buckminster fuller
probably too late now :)
Took me some digging,however, I'm pretty sure it's Thomas Newmans "Arose" from the American Beauty Soundtrack.
They look cute. They should do each other, before getting into a cutting frenzy.

@Justin it depends what kind of curve you are going for? I made a curved bridge out of wood by laser cutting pieces from a side view until it was the right thickness.
what materials to use if i want to make a curved transparent bridge? using acrylic plastic would be hard and was hoping for anything more flexible
Thomas Newman, soundtrack from the movie 'American Beauty', the song is called 'Arose'
balsa is also not sustainable and is banned at my university!
Good video 🎉❤
