Architectural Scale Model Making

An architectural scale model is a physical representation of a proposed or existing structure, typically at a reduced scale. Architectural models are used for a variety of purposes, including presentations, exhibitions, and marketing. They can be very simple or quite complex, depending on the purpose for which they are made. 

​

While computer-generated images (CGI) have become increasingly popular in recent years, there is still no substitute for a well-made physical model. Here are just a few of the many reasons why you need an architectural scale model for your next project.

​

1.They Help You Visualize the Final Product 

​

A good architectural model will help you visualize the final product, which is essential for making sure that the design meets your expectations. A 3D rendering can only show you so much; with a model, you can see exactly how the finished building will look and get a feel for its proportions and scale. 

​

2.They Help You Make Changes Early On 

​

Making changes to a design after construction has begun is expensive and time-consuming. With an architectural scale model, you can make changes early on in the process, before any work has begun. This allows you to experiment with different design options until you find the perfect solution. 

​

3.They Help You Communicate Your Vision 

​

It can be difficult to communicate your vision for a project to others, especially if they are not familiar with the jargon of the architecture industry. A well-made architectural model makes it easy for anyone to understand your vision and see how the final product will look. 

​

4.They Help You Win Over Skeptics 

​

If you are trying to win over skeptics or gain approval from a funding body, an architectural scale model can make all the difference. A physical model is much more persuasive than CGI renderings or drawings; it shows that you have put in the time and effort to create something tangible, and that you are serious about your project. 

​

5. They Help You Save Time and Money 

​

In some cases, an architectural scale model can actually save you time and money. For example, if you are working on an urban planning project, a scale model can help you identify potential problems early on so that they can be addressed before construction begins. This can save you thousands of dollars in the long run.
