1. A scale model is a representation or copy of an object that is larger or smaller than the actual size of the object. Most often the scale model is smaller than the original and used as a guide to making the object in full size.
2.2 types of scale models are study models/ working models which are quickly constructed to reflect the preliminary nature of the design. Presentation/finished model present a finalized, fully developed design with a great deal of detail and high levels of craftsmanship
3. Some advantages of working with a working model are elevations can move and be taped into place as needed for study and review, use drawing skills as an aid in model making, it can be dismantled and stored flat for easy transporting. Some limitations are does not show design details as accurately as presentation models, less realistic in terms of space than presentation models.
4. Advantages of presentation model are show design details such as finishes; colors; materials; textures, give a highly accurate representation of the space. Some limitations are costly to make, time intensive, requires expensive tools, most often created by model making teams of professionals.
5. Were going to make a working model of our entire apartment and a presentation model of 2 or 3 rooms.
