Scale Modelling in Architecture

From their beginnings to the present day, scale models have reflected the cultural and historical contexts in which they were made. Scale models from different time periods can be very similar with regard to construction techniques and used materials, but the development of scale modelling as an architectural representation technique requires the consideration of their specific purpose, type and the temporal context in which they were made. Despite the development of digital techniques, construction of analogue models has not been curbed. On the contrary, digital techniques have led to even greater development and use of analogue models.
