Profile
Despite CAD, model making is very important in architectural training.
Under the guidance of specialist staff, students can build the models required for their studies in the workshop.
Various hand tools and machines, such as band saws, grinding machines, etc. are made available to them for this purpose. Prior participation in a safety briefing is required to use these machines. A CNC milling machine and a laser plotter are available for the production of particularly difficult model parts.
The workshop staff will advise you on the procurement of suitable materials. Model making materials are not provided. The professional supervision and instruction helps to quickly acquire the necessary model-making knowledge and manual skills. The well-equipped workshop is an intensively used facility, and not just for deadlines.
