The Department of Architecture recently hosted a vibrant and skill-building event a two-day Model Making Workshop designed specifically for first and second-year architecture students. This hands-on training provided students with a valuable opportunity to step beyond theory and bring their ideas to life through physical models.
The workshop introduced participants to various model-making techniques, materials, and tools, allowing them to explore the foundational skills of architectural presentation and spatial design. With guidance from instructors, students worked collaboratively to construct detailed models of residential houses and university campuses complete with landscape elements that brought their miniature environments to life.
Throughout the sessions, students not only practiced precision and craftsmanship, but also learned how to communicate design concepts visually and physically. The interactive nature of the workshop fostered teamwork, critical thinking, and creative problem-solving essential skills in the architectural field.
The event concluded with a recognition ceremony, celebrating the creativity and effort of all participants. Special awards were presented to top-performing teams for their innovative designs and model execution, adding an exciting and motivational end to the workshop.
This Model Making Workshop stands as a powerful reminder that learning by doing remains one of the most effective ways to prepare students for the real demands of architecture. The Department of Architecture continues to lead with such initiatives, ensuring that students not only understand architecture — they experience it.
