Applied Technologies & Alternate Methods The peeled paper block was made by hand out of mat board and scored with an X-Acto knife. Surface scoring can also be achieved with a laser or with the help of print/plot technology. Use a laser to score complex linework into a mat board that can then be peeled by hand, or print linework and temporarily adhere it onto the object to provide a template for scoring.

PEELED PAPER 25 Architecture is a team effort,and model building promotes collaboration.A study model is easily modified by several designers during its development.Digital three-dimensional visualization is a powerful tool,but a solitary endeavor that limits design interaction and is not easily modified until it is substantially complete.

Tools A screen can also be fabricated with a laser cutter, cutting mat drafting equipment/ by metal etching,or with print/plot technology. rice paper tape/sanding stick styrene/ Use a laser to cut screen patterns into various table saw white glue /X-acto knife materials,but note that there are material tolerance limitations.You can etch a finer screen into metal and Tips Techniques add relief elements for more detail,or print graphic/ screen linework onto paper and adhere it to a form. Architectural Concepts grid /light /obstruction pattern /rhythm/scale Sample Model(p.143) Create modulated complex structural elements by using styrene and basswood profiles cut into uniform lengths.Cutting the profiles slightly longer than needed will allow you to sand them after assembly to create an even line.Arrange the strips on a flat surface,alternating basswood with styrene (with no space in between),and hold them in place with a weight(such as a metal square).Tape the assemblage together and flip it over.Glue two or more basswood elements perpendicular to the strips with white glue, holding them down with a weight to mitigate warping. Let dry before removing the tape and styrene spacers. When making a styrene screen use basswood spacers and solvent as the adhesive instead.
