{"product_id":"model-making","title":"Model Making","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ancient craft of architectural model making may seem unnecessary in today's age of digital renderings and virtual tours, but physical models remain a uniquely revealing and compelling tool for the architect. More forcefully than any other way of visualizing a building, models represent ideas, as opposed to images. The sensory impact of a physical model, its materiality, is an important step in the design process. Once an idea is materialized, it exists in the real world, and the real world reacts---with limitations or opportunities, which become clear through the process of making. A model not only allows the designer to explore freely while testing out specific ideas but also to advance and communicate his or her ideas effectively to others.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book presents the nuts and bolts of model making. In thirty-three \"concept blocks,\" Megan Werner explores a wide range of possible types including laser-scored acrylic models, basswood topography models, acid etched metal blocks, peeled paper blocks, D-print models, cement pour blocks, and many more. Model Making includes handy appendices on materials, tools, and tips and techniques, as well as a glossary of design concepts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"specs_and_care\" style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"sizing-spec\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e160 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 color illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 black and white illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7\" x 8.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":861862289,"sku":"Model Making","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/4252\/products\/HES_MGH_3_23-249.jpg?v=1427564567","url":"https:\/\/www.handeyesupply.life\/products\/model-making","provider":"Hand-Eye Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
