Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

5.1.1 Intro video – Models in Architecture

Course subject(s) Module 5 – Scale and Detail

There is always something interesting to see in our scale model workshop, and this week Martijn shows some results from an MSc elective course called ‘The Delta Shelter’. The course is about designing a summer house on an island in the Venetian Lagoon in Italy. Similar to this course, the students develop their dream house on the basis of sketch models, contextual models, and detailed models.

At a certain stage in the process, it is important to step back from what you have produced and to look at what could be improved. This is the aim of the fifth week.

This module’s theory section covers several techniques that you can use when looking at and analysing your models. We will also elaborate on how you can combine the three scales we have used to make complementary visuals and to build a presentation story.
