Features: This book depicts the development and role of physical models, showcasing the transformation from rough models in the design process to their evolving forms. Through photographs, these models are reproduced and elevated in two-dimensional space and then transformed into digital models in the computer space. The connection between this newly developed physical model and computers is particularly fascinating. Now, a three-dimensional model can be modified and refined through computer technology, and then digitized to become a new physical form, which will open up an entirely new and exciting space for architects to preview their designs. Similarly, it is intriguing that the development of computer technology may enable designers to directly transform concepts into fully realized architectural entities.
