Courtyard Urban Complex

Overview

The project was translated into a detailed 3D-printed architectural model, carefully reproducing the building's layered volumes, façade openings, arches, terraces, stairs, and site elements. The precision of 3D printing allows the complex relationships between the different building components to be clearly expressed at a physical scale.

Through the combination of architectural design, precision 3D printing, and integrated lighting, the model transforms the student's digital concept into a tangible architectural representation. It demonstrates how physical model making can communicate massing, circulation, façade character, and spatial relationships in a way that drawings and digital images cannot fully capture.
