Model Making

The idea of model making or intention behind a model is to consider the model as a tool to express or test one’s thoughts and ideas—not necessarily to communicate with others, but primarily to oneself as author. It also serves to give shape in three dimensions—volume—to what cannot be expressed only in the form of a sketch or a drawing. The model establishes a connection between the thoughts, ideas sketches; simultaneously identifying anchor points around which the whole project could make a beginning for development. I would consider this an important stage in the design process.
