The projects from my academic career required physical models at many different scales, with various purposes.
This is a model of an existing commercial building housing a Little Caesar's. The purpose of the model was to show granular detail of building materials, structure and layout.
This is a model of the City Creek Canyon Water Education Center. The larger scale shows topographic interaction, critical to the project's design. The entire model was then burnt to highlight the chosen scorched aesthetic of the project.
The model for the new Japanese Church of Christ was designed for simplicity. Form and material tectonics are highlighted by this model.
The Slides is a building which I designed with highly curved, non developable surfaces. This required the use of a 3D printer. The model was constructed of a dozen separate pieces, fused together using heat.
