Amen brother. I'm on board with modelling as a design tool too, awesome and thanks so much to opening the craft of architecture practitioners that in my experience has been considered part of the black art. Your openness I think really appeals to the many sole trader architects around the world

I want a bigger community for architects! They all seem so bright and hard-working but still enjoying themselves

an architect who can make models, is like a fashion designer who can actually draw or make illustrations. That means they really have great talent.

Yes but some professors require you to do a digital model, and is easier to do a digital model because you have more options. (Edited) Aspesely now with covid, doing a digital model in a group is easier. On my opinion.

I'm not much of a model maker but love watching you create your models. Thanks.

You are the single greatest architecture educator that I have ever met. I went through nearly 6 years of architecture school and I never learned as much as with the content in your channel. Thank you very much. Your videos have re inspired me to design and create with love.

Right Now u are my architect to emulate, not to copy because your way of work makes me happy and gives me chills. That's a good sign to follow your projects, ideas, concepts. Plus I'm following your advice to takes photos about nature, architecture, textures, to make sketches. That advice is really helping me out to learn, to train more my hand for sketching and getting helpful knowledge. Thanks so much Prof. Eric

I'm loving your videos, the music, the way they're shot and put together, the annotations, the way you describe your process and the details. I'm a Product Designer but it's fascinating learning about another world of design!

I fell in love with making models (even if they where volumetric or prototypes) when a teacher at my faculty asked me to present my project advances like that, I learned that thinking in three dimentions helped the development of my skills and the reach of my project, just like sketching by hand I believe that making models and playing with shapes is something that as students and architects shouldn't lose

Enjoying your video greatly, I’m a older gentleman that had the chance to go back to my first love of Architecture drafting due disability from the military, and the training was all computer CAD and 3D printing, know modeling, which I had the chance during High school, yep that old, and still love it. I have told my students in a technical college about your channel in hopes they will put up a chair and watch all so, keep up the great job, and from myself thank you for these videos

been watching you since i was 12, i'm now 16 and wanting to be an architecture. I really love your videos, these videos have an inspiration for me and a BIG help. Thank You

Well done! Yet again! That takes me back to model making in my vocational High School. I was lucky enough to have an Architecture class available along with other shop classes. There was little instruction for model building; here's the materials and some glue.

Can’t wait to hear your thoughts in the next part. Thanks for providing such high quality content, both in information and delivery. Though the quality has always been helpful and well done, you’ve definitely gotten better since I first started watching your videos. I think putting yourself in front of the camera was the biggest leap forward.

When you know a lot about something, you can talk about it as much long as you want without any problem... I really want this much knowledge 😊

I love the preciseness and detail you inject in your videos.since i knew you (on youtube)ive never stopped watching....im always excited to sew more....architecture is one great thing....i dont regret persuing it

I grew up making plastic kit models in the 70s, found Design in the 00s and got a communications design degree. Just found your posting, and Wow!!!! Total Mind Blown!!! Great and Fascinating work, thanks! And thanks for the legit tips, insights, and inspirations.

This video wasn't exactly the type of thing I was looking for but it's hugely helpful and gave me lots of ideas about things like materials. I love it.

This is real Architecture, learning from the best OLD SCHOOL! I am inspired by people like you.

I am a first year architecture student , i had no idea about the process of making models and this really gave me an insight. thank you!

Thanks for providing such a great resource! I love that your channel provides an insight into the whole architectural process, it's so valuable for students.

I tend to believe that model-making video really makes me calm and relaxed. I generally figured out that when I was trapped or overwhelmed by school work or projects, I will watch those videos to relax; it seems like those videos were some kind of "antidote" that helps me to digest and release some pressure; it's like meditation!

Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge. It's so inspirational and useful, I'm a garden designer and feel so connected with creating models for my project, even if it's something that we see very little in class. Thank you so much!!

AutoCad draftsmen for the steel industry here. I love that statement that the computer “might force you to make a decision you aren’t ready to”. I feel that so much! Love the content

I really love your Architecture Model videos. You are my role model.

I’m starting architecture school this fall and was starting to feel a bit dreadful abt making these models but now I’m looking forward to it. Just bc it’s new to me i felt scared or anxious but this reminds me that i must’ve been accepted bc of my artistry and creativity so I’ve just got to have faith in myself :)

Thank you for sharing your detailed approaches, not an architect but have a real interest in design and building

This is exactly the reason i make architectural models. I am not an architect though, i just do it as a hobby. I am a UX/UI designer working for a giant software company designing boring business software using data grids and web forms. The money is great, but there is little to no room for creativity in any way, shape or form. Model making is the design outlet i need to get away from the computer and do something with my hands. Working with your hands and building something tangible is almost medicinal for me. I like the digital stuff but i always felt the real world part is missing for me, and i get such kick out of making my mid-century modern house models. It never gets old. Great video and thank you so much for sharing. Subscribed and following.

Nice video, you’ve talked exactly what I used to say in Arch school, make models, for inspiration. More ideas flow along the making of them, I never seen to get the ideas clear when making 3D models in the computer. I love making models and sketching!!

Hell, I’ve been studying for architecture for 2 years and now I found this awesome channel. I can surely say, that I’ve already found more information and tips here, then in my University. Good luck, Sir, you’re amazing!

Great instructional video! You have really presented great ideas that are both cost saving but give great results. Bring on more of these.

I’m starting to get into model architecture for the purpose of stop motion set design. This video was very informative and intriguing, thank you.

My old office had accumulated boxes ad boxes of various basswood and plexi shapes from decades of study model building. They were extremely helpful and fun to work with. Just print out a site plan / survey drawing, grab the box of shapes and go at it. It helps to squint while viewing your initial “work”. Need something unique or new, start cutting up a new shape on the band saw. Not “presentation model” but a great alternative to trying to manipulate something digital. A century ago most design architects had considerable skills with plastilina…sort of a lost art these days. Great video!

you're amazing and I get very inspired whenever I see your videos

amazing work... I love how you film and how aesthetic it looks!

Amazing, really provided new insights into model making, thanks!

@@30by40 I love it! I use it professionally to teach/design and it is a great rapid prototyping tool for quickly visualizing ideas. It definitely has its limitations but, overall it is a very simple and powerful modeling platform. Been recently combining it with 3D printed add ons and looking forward to using balsa for more textures and finishes.

Thank you for making amazing content . I absolutely love it

A wonderful video - very generous in information and presented both professionally and warmly. I used to build models for a living, many years ago, and I would use UHU glue for walls and small elements, super glue for tiny elements, Super 77 to adhere planes to various covering materials and white glue for joining large planes, such as several layers of taskboard to get varying thicknesses of walls.

love seeing the models and learning.

Your videos help so much to bring me down to earth when I’m overwhelmed with school.

I had the pleasure working for mOrphosis in there model shop. We used a lot of different high-tech tools, but still maintained an intense level of craft and the powerful role models play within the design process. Awesome to see models are still an excellent tool in the practice of architecture. Awesome video!

Thank you for the great class!

I absolutely agree with the problem of early decision making while working on computers, it results in a loss of flexibility. After 3 years I have realised that it isn't the best strategy while working on the concept. I am in the process of upgrading my sketching/ model making skills to make it appealing to my clients.

Perfect timing. Could you maybe do more videos on conceptual/working models during a design process? Love your videos, thank you so much !

Man doing models was my favourite part of studying architecture. When it came to working in it I never really got much of a chance or the time

Your got it right bro.. Doing models like this helps you understand space from scratch.

I designed and built homes in the $5 mil and up price range. I’m left handed and 75% of my clients were left handed thereby very visual. A physical architectural model was imperative. It gave them inspiration to hand over large amounts of money to me. We built a model of every home and sold every client. I retired wealthy.

BML must be one of your biggest influences. Simple, organic, functional, cheap, local, and of course beautiful!

Really enjoy watching your videos, they are so helpful. Thanks you

I’m with you. In art school my drawings tended to myopically move into detail without good overall composition. I absolutely loved sculptural modeling.

Digging those forms and Material contrast. it does take time but it always seems to evoke joy and inspire anyone who sees the finished model. My fave trick it to use fine black wet and dry sandpaper to smooth end / corner joints and remove the fluff from balsa. It makes a model really pop and can erase certain mistakes made by a blade. It represents asphalt driveways really well too.

this is so genius! thanks so much for sharing. When you used the freaking mat from home depot I died, its genius.

Again, inspirational video. Good content on this channel. Architecture is a fundamentally daily life.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I really enjoy watching this type of content.

I don’t even know if I want to get into this career, it sounds great and perfect for me. I used to like drawing and being creative when I was younger but today I’m not like that anymore. I don’t create painting or anything really. Sounds like a cool profession I might take courses

Watching this with my phone on night shift added to the aesthetic of the video 🤘🏼

Thank you so much for doing this!

Excellent. I find model making gives more time to experience the idea and develop it as it is in progress .... a feedback system .... also to think through construction and identify problems .... and it is just a nice thing to do. Computers are limiting.

The physical model is still one of the best ways to introduce both a student and client to the process of design. 'Real' wooden toy blocks are an excellent way to encourage thinking outside the screen. Offcuts always find a second life in my design workshops.
