Course Description:	Modeling the idea is a course which studies the various special techniques of model making. It does not aim to produce typically a architectural bulding models, but tends use the abstraction of an idea, represented through model making. The course aims to raise the abstraction skill from one tool of design to another. Students will gain the awareness of interpreting different ways of composition by producing models.
