About the video
In part 1 I’ll show you the materials I chose, why I chose them and a few alternatives. I discuss why you would choose one modeling style over another, how to conceptualize what to model and how a few simple tweaks can make a big difference in the esthetics of your architectural models.
I talk about my model making heroes, my workflow, and you’ll learn why models constructed using planes to render space rather than block-like forms, offer a more realistic depiction of architectural space. This modeling style is realistic and suggestive, yet still open-ended leaving room for interpretation.

Meet the instructors
Eric Reinholdt is a founder of Thirty by Forty Design Workshop which was established in June 2013 in a home he designed overlooking Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. In 2016, he designed and constructed the Long Studio to complement the Longhouse and serve as a full-scale model of his design principles and the latest in building science; this is the home for 30X40.
“My work celebrates humble materials, subtle contrasts and finely-crafted details. I have a strong interest in modern regionalist design, local materials and familiar building forms juxtaposed against modern, open floor plans. I employ a minimalist, Shaker-like palette of details inspired by the site and natural surroundings.”
