Apart from the drawing -which is essentially a two dimensional interpretation or representation of (aspects of) a design -the architectural model is an extremely effective design medium. Characteristic of the model is that, like the building itself, it is a three dimensional object which can be perceived dynamically, even though it is usually 'scaled down' to a manageable size. A typical aspect of classic -physical -model making is that the construction of the model is to a large extent a building process in its own right. However, because of the scale factor the design has to be 'interpreted' in such a way that it can actually be made and will 'come across' as a model. This involves a level of reduction of the 134 eCAADe 20 [design e-ducation] Education and Curricula, Traditional and E-ducation Areas. Session 03
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
