Why should we (still) make Physical Models? Ft. Sophie and Max from Atomik Architecture
With AI, virtual environments and increasingly realistic visualisation changing architecture, where does that leave the physical model?
Stephen Drew speaks with Sophie McCarthy and Max Fraser from Atomik Architecture about why physical models still matter, how they support design thinking, and what they can do that a screen cannot.
The conversation covers:
Why physical models are still relevant in architecture practice
How models help clients, teams and students understand design ideas
The relationship between hand-making, digital tools and architectural judgement
