Architectural Techniques

Foamboard Modelling

This guide introduces the core techniques for designing and constructing simple architectural models using foamboard. It explains how to set out elevations, attach printed drawings with spray mount, and cut clean, accurate components by making controlled vertical scalpel passes. Instructions are provided for forming strong, neat joints using UHU as a contact adhesive, including a method for concealing joints by removing only part of the foamboard thickness. The guide offers practical, beginner-friendly steps for assembling durable, tidy foamboard models.
