Scale Model

1.) A representation or copy of an object that is larger or smaller than the actual size of the object. Most often the scale model is smaller than the original and used as a guide to making the object in full size.

2.) a. Study Model/Working Models: quickly constructed to reflect the preliminary nature of the design.
     b. Presentation/Finished Models: present a finalized, fully developed design with a great deal of detail and high levels of craftsmanship.

3.) Advantages: Working Scale Model
     -Elevations can moved and taped into place as needed for study and review
     -Uses drawing skills as an aid in model making
     -Can be dismantled and stored flat for easy transportation
    Limitations: Working Scale Model
     -Does not show design details as accurately as presentation models
     -Less realistic in terms of space than presentation models

4.) Advantages: Presentation Model
     -Shows design details such as finishes; colors; materials; textures
     -Gives a highly accurate representation of the space
    Limitations: Presentation Model
     -Costly to create
     -Time intensive
     -Requires expensive tools
     -Most often created by model making teams of professionals

5.) We will be making 2 scale models of a section of our apartment:
     > One working model or our entire apartment
     > One presentation model of 2 to 3 rooms of our apartment
