Questions about the Physical Models poster

What’s on the Physical Models poster?

A 5-row table: Model · Scale · Answers. Build the model that answers the question you actually have. Site and massing — 1:500 — Fit, height, shadow; Scheme model — 1:200 — Form, composition; Sectional model — 1:50 — Space, light, height; Room model — 1:20 — Proportion, materials; Detail model — 1:5 — Junctions, assembly. Use one material for a massing model. Colour and texture make a study model look finished before it is resolved.

Who is the Physical Models poster for?

Physical Models belongs to the Architecture section rather than to a school year, because design is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning representation can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Physical Models poster?

Use it when the drawing cannot answer the question. Volume and light need a model. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Physical Models belongs on the wall where that design work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Physical Models?

Annotation and Dimensions, Axonometric and CAD, BIM and the Model sit alongside Physical Models in the Architecture section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Annotation and DimensionsAxonometricCAD, BIM and the Model

Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence

What size does the Physical Models poster print at?

Physical Models is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Physical Models loses nothing.Printing guide
