Can model-making makes better architects? A French and Australian Comparative Case-Study
Abstract
The review of the different types of models that are
developed and tested for architectural courses displays the
challenges faced by the students in terms of structural issues and
new technologies. Through a comparative case study in France
and Australia, our research aims at assessing the contribution of
model-making to improve engineering skills in architecture
curriculum. The ultimate goal is to assess the efficiency of this
specific pedagogical approach in order to contribute to the
emerging demands of the industry, such as more collaborative
and integrated work for a better sustainable built environment.
