Architectural Concept Model

This is a concept massing model of a colonnaded building set around a courtyard, printed to show the whole scheme at a glance: the long arcaded wings, the arched central entrance with its grand steps, and the curved ends that close off a triangular site.

How we made it

We modelled the building and its site from the design, then split it into sections sized for our printers. Every part was 3D-printed by fused deposition modeling (FDM), from the repeating colonnade and arched windows down to the stepped entrance, and assembled onto the site base.

We left the whole model raw white on purpose. A single uniform colour is how a massing model is meant to be read: it strips away material and texture so the eye follows form, proportion and how the building sits on its plot. That is exactly what a concept model is for.
