The use of model-making in various scales
has and will always be an important tool for
architects. Designing and building in scale 1:1
is a unique aspect of learning that NTNU offers
architecture students through their wooden
constructions course. The spring course of 2015
gave students the opportunity to design and
build a stargazing structure in rindal.
Students were able to gain insight into the
transition between conceptual drawings and
a realized structure. An understanding of
construction, prefabrication, properties of wood,
collaboration and craftsmanship were all gained
during the process. Such skills are important for
architects wanting to create innovative wooden
architecture.
This book documents the process of the entire
course from the first sketches to the built
structure.
