DAY 4

Day 4 began with an introduction to the significance of modelmaking, particularly in the context of public consultation. We led a discussion on public engagement and inclusivity, emphasising how physical models play a crucial role in communicating proposals—especially for individuals with visual impairments. We highlighted that accessible, tangible models can help ensure all voices are heard during consultations, making the process more inclusive and equitable.

We also stressed the value of modelmaking when working with clients and stakeholders. Physical models serve as a bridge of understanding between designers and non-designers, making abstract ideas more tangible and facilitating clearer communication.

Following the lecture, students were introduced to the basics of 3D printing and the processes involved in producing digital models. Something they will look into over the following days.

The remainder of the day was dedicated to a hands-on task: creating physical models of the chapels at various scales. These models were to be used during the upcoming site visit and public engagement session. Students were encouraged to incorporate textures and architectural details that reflect the current state of the chapels, promoting authentic representation and expression.
