One of the requirements of being a student at the McGill University School of Architecture is model making, a process I genuinely enjoy and fully immerse myself in. With each maquette, I learn new methods and techniques and continue to improve along the way. Below is one of the most recent models I worked on.
The model is fully hand-built from foam board, plaster, and layered cardboard, with a custom stencil guiding the surface articulation. Fine cuts were achieved using a scroll saw and Cricut. A terracotta spray paint base, finished with a subtle brush-applied patina, unifies the material palette and reveals the form’s intended depth and texture.
