Models are an essential part of the design process, for both exploring ideas and visually presenting ideas. Model making, either real or virtually will be expected as part of the process.

During the process, it is important to draw and capture critical design images for presentation. The architectural designers should organize pertinent conceptual sketches, images and illustrative diagrams for presentation, as well as for future use in presentation and final submittals. All projects will produce both physical models and 3d virtual models. The intent is to capture images of plans, elevations, sections and details as part of the project expectations.
