This comprehensive text explains the process from start to finish, and has been expanded to include up-to-date information on digital modeling programs and rapid phototyping processes. The impact of this new wave of 3D modeling technology is examined through interviews and numerous examples from renowned architects. Along with many new student projects, this new Second Edition features information on cutting-edge digital imaging equipment and design software, as well as examples of urban and industrial design models." "Architect Criss Mills acquaints architecture and design professionals with essential modeling terms, design processes, equipment, materials, and construction methods.
