Proyectos arquitectónicos y maquetería: guía para modelos tridimensionales

Abstract

I In this degree work, a modeling manual oriented to the Catholic University of Cuenca students is proposed. For its realization, different analyses have been conducted: a theoretical review of existing materials in the environment, video interviews with recognized modelers, surveys to students of different levels and teachers of different subjects, experimentation, and search for information on the technical characteristics of the materials in terms of compression, tension, and bending. This study determines the main problems students have in creating miniatures. The model-making manual is elaborated based on strategies expressing different construction techniques. Finally, three models were executed using architectural, topographic, and landscape techniques. It is evidenced that quality models can be made with the proper knowledge.
