MASTERPLAN - MODELS

when using foam (which comes in various colors depending on the density of the foam), the model can be photographed in b+w, eliminating the need for coating the foam with a plaster or gesso wash.

STEVEN HOLL, IN CONVERSATION WITH NILE GREENBERG

image: model Student Performing Arts Center at University of Pennsylvania

Holl: Models are extremely important today in studying a design because the digital renderings warp proportion. We work with the golden section, ordering and organizing around proportional elements. A model doesn’t lie to you, whereas the distortions in perspective of digital drawings can really lead to some bad design. We are always building models of the current designs. I think that’s very important to study the light, the quality of light inside of a space. James Turrell told me the actual light in space bounces off the source at the square root of the distance to the source, and that is not captured in the computer. To study the different surfaces in a space and how they interact with the light source, it’s much better to model than to try to imitate it in the computer.

PHYSICAL MODELS AND TREES - examples

trees can be abstracted as vertical elements - part of the tectonic composition of an architectural proposal - using for example wooden dowels, metal rods, pins, etc.

various diameters and heights of these elements depict a variety of trees.

regularity, density and repetition can be clearly represented.
