For example a round column would be represented by a piece of wooden dowel, but no base or capital would be shown. These models are usually built out of a solid colored cardboard such as white museum board or chip board. The architect’s elevations may also be applied to the exterior of the model to show a graphic representation of doors, windows and materials. Generally includes a minimal site. Also included in this set are model studies of a portion of the building. Typically study models take between 25 - 60 hours to complete.
