However, the impact of thinking and making with hands is diminishing. The advancement in technology has developed the 3D modelling software into a good tool in modelling and visualizing spaces, quicker and easier to amend, and experimenting accidental effect. The current phenomenon is that students are relying too much on these software for their design development. In recent years, with the advent of more advanced virtual modeling software in the market, such as Rhino, Grasshopper, Maya, and MiroGDS is taking over the physical model. It is instead seen as a submission requirement to fulfil, in other words, the students only make models for submission in the final stage. It’s no longer a fundamental element of architecture education in design process, as a device for exploration. In architecture education, the importance of architectural model making has been gradually reduced in recent years, especially with the introduction of new and innovative architecture design technology and software. An equivalent term is bozzetto, from the Italian word for “sketch”. Now they have come into their own – and many are producing World Class architecture.Ī maquette (French word for scale model, sometimes referred to by the Italian names plastico or modello) is a scale model or rough draft of an unfinished sculpture. It was not too long ago that Chinese architects were overlooked by the outside world. This is 4th instalment of the series and this time, Tay Tze Yong, local practitioner and educator talks about the importance of maquettes or sketch models in the design process. A portion of 14 maquettes, 18 theatre and concert hall models, and other study models that we have produced individually in one semester at Peter Corrigan studio, RMIT.
