Within my group of students, I start to see a few that try to use the site model as a tool to visualize and realize what can be applied on the site of their choice. After today's session, I hope everyone will play with the model, and the key word is "play".
While most of you think the model is a 3D representation of your idea, just like any other 3D softwares, instead the model should be the beginning of your idea, the beginning of a form or forms that interact with the other elements on the site.
To demonstrate design ideas through models, you need to be brave enough to leave your pencil and notebook aside, and explore possibilities through adding and subtracting, as if you were the little kid playing with 'Lego'. So free yourselves from the constraints of the mind, and let your eyes and hands do the job.
Because you are designing with the site model, you will inevitably design with urban considerations. Hopefully by the end of next Tuesday, you will all realize that you have spent a month learning about urban design issues in architecture, starting with the very ambitious site analysis and design through models.
