Scale Models and Prototypes - Spaces

The subject is divided into two areas of knowledge. A theoretical part that defines the basic concepts about the materials and technologies that can be used, and a practical part where the production and post-production techniques of models are developed within the design context. These two areas are complemented by the drawing and photography tool, both during the creative process and the final presentation phase.

During the course, two types of models will be worked on, which will help us to develop the project and present it respectively:

  • The working models, which are made with fast handling materials and easier to execute. They are used as a tool of thought within the design process of a project and allow: to express concepts, work with spaces, proportions and forms in an effective way, allowing to be critical.
  • Presentation models, which are made with more complex materials and techniques and are slower to execute. They represent in a descriptive way a project that is terminated in the design phase and, therefore, is in the phase of the executive project. It is usually used as a presentation and communication tool for projects, complementary to renders and panels.
