When making a model, there are many different factors to consider. The materials, the size, the style and most importantly what you are trying to say? What is the models purpose? What are you trying to showcase? Making a model is like visual sketching, it allows areas to be explored.
When making my model I took a lot of inspiration from a book by American architect Thom Mayne – Morphosis both his architecture firm and title of the book, it showcased very detailed and intricate models. It was a style of model making that I have never seen before.
This is a style that I would like to emulate into my own models.
My father actually gave me this book as a birthday present a couple of years back, at the time I was like “oh yeah, this is cool” I would look at the pictures and that was it really, never did I think that it would actually come in handy in inspiring and teaching me today. This is something that i find very interesting and I now love to collect books of similar styles.
I have also been taking inspiration and learning from a Youtube page called 30X40 Design Workshop. I find his videos very informative and they have given me many tips on how to make models.
