Einführung von Massenmodellen
Massing models focus on the overall form and volume of a building rather than its structural details, materials, colors, or façade.
„Masse“ ist ein Begriff aus der Architektur. Er bezeichnet die Wahrnehmung der allgemeinen Gestalt und Form sowie der Größe eines Gebäudes.
Massing model makers often use simple materials, such as wooden boards or PVC sheets, to minimize unnecessary visual distractions.
Massing influences how people perceive the spaces between buildings and helps define a building’s interior spaces and exterior form.
In addition to the buildings themselves, massing models often include surrounding Landschaften, roads, and terrain to illustrate the overall site.
1. Massenmodell für Kai Tak in Hongkong
Scale: 1: 2000 Size: 3,500 × 2,800 mm Production Time: 2 months
Our model makers used numerous tan-colored blocks to represent the surrounding neighborhoods of Kai Tak.
The Kai Tak area, on the other hand, is mainly represented using translucent and brown acrylic, creating a striking contrast.
Our model makers also installed a lighting system, using white LED strips to highlight the coastline and docks and warm yellow lighting to represent the road network.
2. Massing-Modell für Masterplan von KPF
Scale: 1: 2000 Size: 3,600 × 2,500 mm Production Time: 45 days
Im Auftrag von KPF Architects entstand dieses Massenmodell des Masterplan demonstriert die einzigartige Ästhetik von RJ Models in der Modellbaubranche.
RJ Models’ model makers used gray and translucent materials throughout the model-making process.
3. Massing model for Taipei
Scale: 1: 1000 Size: 1,400 × 800 mm Production Time: 3 weeks
Dieses Massenmodell stellt den Taipei 101 Tower und seine Umgebung dar.
Unser Architekturmodellbauer chose timber plates and blocks to produce the buildings in the model.
4. Massing model for Shek O by Foster + Partners
Scale: 1: 100 Size: 900 × 550 mm Production Time: 3 weeks
Shek O, which literally means “rocky bay” in Cantonese, is located on the southern coast of Hong Kong Island, facing the South China Sea.
Thanks to its prime location and stunning views, Shek O has attracted renowned architectural firms to design luxury villas in the area.
Following several successful collaborations, our client, Foster + Partners, commissioned RJ Models to create thisVillen-Massenmodell uns.
The villa features a distinctly modern architectural style. Our model makers used blocks with clean, straight edges to represent the main structure and its striking swimming pool.
The surrounding mountains are full of plants and grass. We used contour lines to represent changes in the surrounding terrain.
5. Model for Murray Road by Foster + Partners
Maßstab: 1:500 Größe: 1000mm x 800mm Produktionszeit: 3 Wochen
This massing model represents the Murray Road area in Hong Kong, near the boundary between Admiralty and Central.
In diesem Modell sind viele bekannte Gebäude der Umgebung zu sehen.
Examples include the Bank of China Tower, designed by I. M. Pei, and the Murray Building, renovated by Foster + Partners.
Our model makers prepared digital terrain data and used it to produce the model with precision, eliminating the need for additional finishing.
Unser Architekturmodell makers used a simple, clear approach to represent each building’s massing.
For example, we added diamond-shaped patterns to the massing of the Bank of China Tower to replicate its distinctive glass façade.
6. Modellarchitektur für Nanjing in China
Maßstab: 1:200 Größe: 1100mm x 650mm Produktionszeit: 20 Tage
Das von Woods Bagot, RBS und Forster entworfene Projekt Shimao G11 ist ein weiteres neues Wahrzeichen in Nanjing.
The project consists of two high-rise office towers and a commercial podium.
The podium features numerous curved elements, so our model makers combined 3D printing and laser-cutting technologies to accurately reproduce the architectural drawings.
In addition, the use of timber as the primary model material presented challenges because of its rigidity and susceptibility to breakage.
Reproducing the façade structures of theBürogebäude at a 1:200 scale therefore presented a challenge for our model makers.
Glücklicherweise hat RJ Models Erfahrung in der Herstellung nicht nur großer Masterplanmodelle, sondern auch kleiner architektonische Fassadenmodelle.
Despite the production challenges, our team completed the model to a high standard.
7. Massenmodell für Jakarta von SOM
Scale: 1: 1000 Size: Radius: 1,800 mm Production Time: 3 weeks
This is a transit-oriented development master plan for the Indonesian capital Jakarta, designed by the world-renowned architectural design company, SOM.
RJ Models produced the massing model of the site for SOM.
Wir haben weiße PVC-Platten für die Basis und die Architektur verwendet und zur Dekoration einige hellgrüne Bäume entlang der Straßen hinzugefügt.
To accurately represent the architectural design, our model makers used CNC machining to create the window frames on the façades of the diamond-shaped buildings and3D-Drucker to produce the curved building forms.
The entire massing model is placed on a circular base with a radius of 1.8 meters.
Decorative elements, including the river and surrounding landscape, feature muted Morandi-inspired colors, giving the entire massing model a harmonious appearance.
Fazit zu Massing-Architekturmodellen
Massing is one of the most important architectural design considerations.
It has a significant visual impact and directly influences how a building is perceived.
Der architektonische Entwurf von Architekten beginnt normalerweise mit vorläufigen Schätzungen der architektonischen Masse und verwendet Massemodelle, um ein direktes Gefühl für die Gebäude zu bekommen.
Einige Architekturstile sind eng mit der Massierung verbunden, etwa Gotik, Prairie School oder Georgian.
This requires model makers to have an understanding of architectural styles and history, as well as a thorough knowledge of dimensions and scales.
Our architectural model-making team has gained extensive experience in producing massing models over the past three decades.
Every detail reflects our commitment to quality and distinguishes us from other model makers.
