Architectural model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An architectural model is a tangible representation - whether accurate or conceptual - of an architectural idea usually built to communicate design ideas to clients, owners, committees, customers, and the general public.

Architectural models are most commonly constructed at much smaller Scale than their 1:1 counterpart. Such models are distinct from a computer generated 3D model.

Architects often employ a professional Model Maker to create such models.
