Overview

This student architectural project explores the relationship between architecture, movement, and topography through a composition of interconnected volumes positioned along a stepped circulation spine.

By transforming the design into a physical model, the project demonstrates how 3D printing can communicate architectural concepts beyond drawings and renderings, providing a tangible understanding of scale, hierarchy, and spatial experience. The result is a model that captures both the architectural vision and the journey through the building, making the design accessible and engaging from every perspective.

Process

1
CAD prep & module split

Watertight repair, wall-thickness check and splitting the model into registration-keyed, printable modules.

2
High-resolution printing

Modules printed to spec — resin at 50µm where fine detail matters, durable filament where strength does.

3
Finishing & assembly

Seam-sanding, priming, painting and bonding into the finished, presentation-ready model.

Delivered

White-glove handoff, finished and ready to present.
