About the Book

"Behind virtually every great building is an architectural scale model. ... Architectural models combine practicality and detailed craftmanship with an artistic flair."--From the Foreword by Ross King, author of Brunelleschi's Dome: How a Renaissance Genius Reinvented Architecture and Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling, among other works. Architectural Model Building: Tools, Techniques and Materials presents simple instructions, illustrations, exercises, and practical applications to the inexperienced or student model maker. With more than 300 photographs, the text's easy-to-follow format is designed to develop the requisite skills for crafting professional-quality models. Students are not only supplied with basic how-to information but, through the book's various features, also with ways of avoiding common mistakes. Features: -Learn from the Pros icon points to passages containing instructions, shortcuts, and tips from professionals. -Advice from the Pros box gathers the wise counsel of professionals, reinforcing the lessons. -Chapter Review and Practice sections offer critical thinking questions as well as hands-on practice for the beginning to intermediate model maker. -Full-color insert showcases exquisitely rendered models, which complement the text's step-by-step presentation. -Glossary defines key terms, boldfaced in the text. -Appendix comprises templates of shapes frequently encountered by the model maker.
