An architectural
model is a kind of scale models- a physical representation of a structure,
built to study aspects of an architectural design or to communicate design
ideas.
Exterior city
planning models are models of buildings which usually include some
landscaping and buildings or civic spaces around the building.
Interior models
are models which showing interior space planning, finishes, colors, furniture
layout, ceiling lightings and beautification.
Landscaping
design models are models of landscape design and development representing
features such as walkways, small bridges, pergolas, vegetation patterns and
beautification. Landscaping design models usually represent public spaces and
landscaping.
commercial scale models are
models which usually showing commercial area’s buildings and design, such as
shopping mall models, office building models, marketplace models, department
store scale models, bazaar scale models, emporium scale models.
Urban models are
models typically built at a much smaller scale (starting from 1:500 and
less, 1:700, 1:1000,
1:1200, 1:2000, 1:20000),
representing several city blocks,
even a whole town or village,
large resort, campus, industrial facility, military base and so on. Urban models are a
vital tool for town/city planning and development. Urban models of large urban
areas are displayed at museums such as the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition
Center, Queens Museum in New York, the
Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall, and
the Singapore City Gallery.
Engineering and
construction models show isolated building/structure elements and components
and their interaction.
Industrial
models usually show different scale industrial equipment and plant. such as
drilling platform models, power station models, machine models, hydraulic
electrogenerating models and so on.
A number of
companies produce ready-made pieces for structural components siding,
furniture, figures (people), vehicles, trees, bushes and other features which
are found in the models. Features such as vehicles, people figurines, trees,
street lights and other are called "scenery elements" and serve not
only to beautify the model, but also to help the observer to obtain a correct
feel of scale and proportions represented by the model. Increasingly, rapid
prototyping and solid freeform fabrication '3D printing' are used to
automatically construct models straight from CAD plans.
