From measuring to revealing. 7 Paradigmatic actions for the construction of models as tools of representation

The experience developed during the research as a fellow – on the topic:Progettazione, organizzazione e gestione di un nuovo Laboratorio di modellistica:metodologie, materiali e strumenti, (Planning, organization and management of anew modeling Laboratory: methodologies, materials and tools) - at Politecnico diMilano, is the background of this abstract proposed for the study-day.From this experience the text focuses on the set-up of the following statement:the architectural model as a tool of representation. The goal is to formulate somemethodological procedures, through seven different design actions: digging, cutting,folding, layering, carving, modelling and printing, for the set-up of representationtechniques coherent with the projecting topic of the designed space.Seven different design actions coincide, in fact, as a result, likewise types ofmodels: the dug model, the cut model, the folded model, the layered model, thecarved model, the modelled model and the additive model
