This 1:500 Competition model for CRONE + Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates boasts a delicate facade on both the podium and tower. We utilize rapid fabrication techniques such as resin 3D printing, CNC machined timber and laser cutting. Winning Competition entry for BVN and SHOP Architects uses mixed timber and acrylic materials. A shimmery acrylic facade was used to express the louvered glazing wall on either side of the building’s design. Grimshaw + Smart Design Studio + Panov Scott, 338 Pitt Street uses solid mahogany that has been hand carved, laser cut and assembled. Robust site elements were CNC milled while the model delicate pieces were laser cut and assembled by hand. Grimshaw & Andrew Burges design for Parramatta Pool uses a combination of CNC milling and laser cutting to represent building components and pools that are sunken under the landscape. The entire model is made of Solid wood.Ĭompetition Model for Neeson Murcutt at 1-500 showing Cotteslow Beach Pavilion Smart Design Studio & Co-AP’s design for Green square uses CNC milling and hand assembly to craft formal representations of the designs that then slot into a reusable context model. The CNC is amazing for burn free cutting, 3D carving of forms that are more sculptural and for site models but its not appropriate for many finer detail works at this scale as the elements are too small. Each of these model making techniques generate different expressions for both the form and the surface treatment translating architectural details differently.

When making 1:500 timber models we use varied techniques such as CNC milling, manual cutting, using blades, ban saws and laser cutting. This journal aims to highlight some opportunities when working at this tiny scale.
1:500 Architectural models can be sculptural or highly detailed expressions depending on the design, materials and the desired techniques used.
