Modelmaking: A Basic Guide
by Martha Sutherland
An introduction to the craft for students of architecture, landscape architecture, urban,
interior, and theatrical design, or anyone who has the need or desire to make the large
small.
In concise instructions and nearly
200 charming, easy-to-follow drawings, Modelmaking details the construction of both study
and presentation models in common materials such as paper, chipboard, illustration board,
foamcore, balsa, and basswood. It also covers choosing the right materials for the job,
making a base to support the model, rendering contoured sites, as well as fashioning
models of trees, people, and other entourage. To pique the interest of modelmakers, many
imaginative illustrations show how to capture the essence of modern architecture as well
as classical forms, including columns, pediments, and friezes. Throughout, Professor
Sutherland stresses the need to create models that are not just accurate and sturdy but
also beautiful.
