architectural models
Scaled structure replicas
Architectural models are physical or digital representations of buildings and structures, typically built to scale for planning, presentation, or study.
Architects use them to visualize designs, test spatial relationships, and communicate proposals to clients: The firm unveiled an architectural model of the new stadium.
They range from simple massing studies in foam or cardboard to detailed miniatures with landscaping and tiny figures.
