The Love of Miniature Architectural Models | Sweet Onion Creations

March 17th, 2008

So, what do you get when you buy an architectural model?

Some are required for going forward with the approval process but there is an added bonus…you get excitement. We’re talking little kid enthusiasm over something miniature. This is something that is universal because people LOVE to see how a design looks at a small scale. They can touch the top of the skyscraper building with their finger tips. It’s like being King Kong without the annoying airplanes buzzing around.

This love of miniature has to be deeply rooted. Why do Christmas tree ornaments always show miniature snowshoes or snow globes have a winter cabin?

We all love small things and with 3d printing, CAD, and good design you can build anything you want at a tiny size. The built world is tough to comprehend. Lay out a set of drawings and measure the temperature of the room. Do the same thing with a model and no doubt will their be a better discussion ready to take place.
