About This Book

This practical manual explains how to build architectural models in paper, describing suitable papers, adhesives, and the necessary tools including cutting boards, presses, straightedges, and knives. It offers step-by-step methods for preparing plans and elevations, cutting and mitring joints, forming cornices, architraves, windows, doors, roofs, chimneys, and other details, plus guidance on shaping curves and mouldings. Instructions cover final assembly, mounting models on prepared stands beneath glass shades, and creating surrounding landscape elements such as lawns, paths, water features, and garden ornaments. A glossary records specific techniques for individual details, while introductory remarks emphasize patience, precision, and the model’s usefulness for visualizing designs.
