Abstract

The present paper has explained how the physical and CAD models could be useful in design projects for students studying degrees in architecture and product design. When it comes to a systematic design process, detailing and materialization and model-making steps are frequently ignored in design education. Detailing and materialization and modelmaking considerations are frequently disregarded in design education after something has undergone a careful design process. In order to create the appearance of completeness for potential clients, teachers typically instruct their students to concentrate on recognizing problems, coming up with creative design solutions, and conveying "nearly accomplished ideas" in the form of detailed and sophisticated depictions. This study also discusses the methodical approach to teaching design and practice in terms of choosing the finest models and prototypes. Students discovered that rather than models of the actual building, the findings of a survey, or the final design, both physical and CAD modeling environments have the ability to produce models for architecture. The authors also advocate keeping a strict approach to conceptual and imaginative development as well as a targeted cognitive approach through Model Making for researching design themes and then formulating solutions.
