The document discusses the model building process used in schematic design and design development. It describes different types of models like concept models, site contour models, and presentation models. It provides guidance on materials to use, such as matte board, foamcore board, and corrugated cardboard. It recommends X-Acto knives for cutting and provides tips for representing vegetation, grass, and roads in an abstract way in models.

12. REMEMBER ……. it’s an ABSTRACT 3-D interpretation of your design ! Not a doll house Not a toy train set KEEP ALL COLORS MONOCROMATIC !

14. VEGETATION Shrubs and trees: Yarrow (weeds) Store bought “Woodland Scenics.. Steel wool & Styrofoam balls work Remember it’s an abstraction. ENTOURAGE GRASS: MATT BOARD ROAD AND WALKS: MATT BOARD SCORED

18. Use a metal straight edge for cutting, not your drafting equipment. Draw out on the matt board where you want to cut using your drafting table , triangle and hard lead pencil but ………….. PLEASE CUT ON THE BLACK CUTTING BOARDS!!!
