ARCHITECTURAL MODELS
This course deals with the use of models in architecture. The word 'model' refers to anything which allows a designer to verify a hypothesis of concept. This could be 3d, physical models or references. Models have always formed part of the process of research in architecture but in recent times their use has become more visible. This course aims to develop a better understanding of the issues involved in the use of models while also casting a critical eye on their use.
