Week-02 Role Of Shaping and Material Understanding

Models are representations that can aid in defining, analyzing, and communicating a set of concepts. System models are specifically developed to support analysis, specification, design, verification, and validation.

Models/Shapes Highlight Features

Perhaps the main reasons why models are so important is because they can highlight the features and utility of a planned structure in a way that a composite sketch or computer-generated image could never do. If you want to demonstrate how the windows of a building will allow light to filter through a space, a model is an ideal way to do so. If you want to be able to highlight all of the proportions of a building, as well as provide a detailed sense of scale, then a physical or digital 3D model is the most reliable means of achieving this. Both physical and digital models allow you to properly situate a project and communicate to stakeholders exactly how it will fit into its environment and serve its primary functions.
