Making the model

[aldoalex13]

Whats the name of the song?

[52687asssss]

do you need to make planes b4 making the model

[porkbuns]

yeah the dark green foam is called an oasis, used for arranging fresh flowers...can buy it at any florist supplier. Only use it for sketch models. The white glue is just ur normal pva craft glue...let it set for a while before applying (sticks better that way)

[archiinter]

@ 43 : I'm wondering if that material is the kind of "foam" we put in pots (with water) for the flowers to stand...? or am i wrong?

[ccombag]

i use to cut my models in a plotter, the only thing that you have to do its drawing the pieces in to Autocad, and thats it, ready to cut in less than 40 minutes.

[gymboy19]

guys is it hard to find a job as an architec even with this economy some 1 pllsss let me know im beggin tell me from ur experience plss

[basasa5]

which material is that?

[bubbleblower453]

*YAWN* ........... sooooooooo boring

[sir5ive]

wow, you recorded your student?

i'd be sweating if my professor was sitting beside me with his camcorder fixed on me, lol.

[jami0jam]

what type of glue is that?

[rjlr]

at 0:43, what material is that? the green one that you are cutting.

[telosfd]

Its a kinde of sponge that they using to keep flowers fresh!

[VikingProduction]

its called Oasis i beleive

[ryanmccloskey06]

are you wearing bowling shoes? very retro

[MHIoscar]

were can i find materials to make a model?

thanks

[danielsarch]

You depends where you live, but a popular store is called "Pearl Paint", which is found all over the U.S. and I think around Europe. The material used here is called "matboard"

[MHIoscar]

thanks!

[danielsarch]

Are you taking architecture classes in your

college?

[MHIoscar]

no.. but i will next semester... am a film maker, but I like architecture. and i want to create a model.. mostly of stadiums, arenas or tall buildings..

[danielsarch]

Well if you need any tips or have any tips you can give me send me a comment

[year2kill2010]

i just got done with a class called design processing in my high school and i was woundering if u could give me a few tips. i also wanna make a model but dont really know how to start

[danielsarch]

do you mean help in design? if thats the case then it largely depends on what the house is used for? some general guidelines for any bldg. 1)uniqe window pattern on east side of house 2) keep private and public spaces totally seperate 3) common sense of how corridors connected to any space is planned.

[sierrarazz]

Start with sketching, if you know how to draft, go for that. make small model out of paper, clay, etc... just something easy to deal with. show it to someone who opinion you value, see what they say about it, make notes about what you learned when making the small model.... then as you refine your design, start modeling with more sturdy planar materials-cardboard, chipboard, etc.. and try using super glue gel, (looks better than hot glue) and always cut everything with a metal straight edge

[uaakitektu1928]

is that green a floral foam??wow you use it to create a shape or pattern.. impressive.. so what is for the walls?? what project is that?

[MisterBo88]

yeah vinavil forever! XD

di che università siete??

[el9nene]

yea pretty cool...but technology has arrive guys....now a computer and a laser do the leg work

[Lovro2]

...are you sure?lol

[el9nene]

positive at least in the US

[CaptPoco]

You mean CAD, right? In general, computers are quite inflexible compared to traditional media. With a cardboard model, I can push the bits around with my hands at the speed of thought (or just about). With a computer, I have to work through the software's interface, which is quite slower.

A computer is useful for making structural/load/seismic simulations. You can't simulate tension/torsion or seismic activity with cardboard. So engineers love CAD, but architects hate it.

[allesleiwand]

wow. you got computers making your models? how can you afford this?

[Dandude1221]

Yeah you can... you can either use a laser cutter to cut out the pieces you have made or a 3D plotter to do all the work for you...

but you don't get as much out of it and most firms do not have these tools, at least not for study models and every model you need.

Capt Poco, you can use Sketch Up, once you get the hang of it, it's pretty cool and its free...

But I def prefer hand building... at least for the first few years of school

[dedringer]

It's interesting to watch them build their models. I wouldn't even dream of using scissors or utility blades. Pretty cool though. About the green foam, it does look like the stuff used in floral arrangements.

[nachoxxx]

what material is that green block?

[tjos86]

i think it moss foam?(not sure if that's how you call it) . it's the one that's used in gardening...

[tjos86]

sorry not gardening, it's flower arrangement... hehe:D

[terimakasihpredator]

thanks for the tip :)

[soccercrazy111]

i learned from this..
