In this course, it is aimed to help students understand the place and importance of model making in landscape architecture, as well as the relationships between scale, topography, landform arrangement and physical representation. The course also aims to enable students to become familiar with the tools, equipment and materials used in model making; to transform landscape elements, landforms and design components into models at an appropriate scale; to represent living and non-living landscape materials; and to document the completed model through visual presentation techniques.

The place and importance of models in physical design; basic concepts related to model making; types of models; relationships between scale, measurement and elevation; model-making tools, equipment and materials; representation of topographic structure and landform through models; site grading and the creation of structural ground surfaces; representation of living and non-living landscape materials; planting, detailing and model photography techniques. The assessment of the course is based on workshop studies and project submissions carried out throughout the semester. Workshop studies include weekly practical exercises and technical model productions, while project assessment covers the interim model submission and the final completed model project submission at the end of the semester. Mid-term assessment consists of the first four workshop studies and the interim project submission, accounting for 40% of the total grade. The end-of-term assessment consists of the final four workshop studies and the final project submission, accounting for 60% of the total grade.
