A large section-model of our proposed design for the University of Toronto Daniels Faculty of Architecture and Urban Design was commissioned for an on-site exhibition.  Challenged by an extremely fast delivery schedule, the model was an opportunity to flex our digital design and fabrication capabilities.

sectionModel_03The model base incorporates a internal steel frame for strength and rigidity.

sectionModel_11aModel pieces are cut on the router, cleaned, and arrayed for ease of assembly

sectionModel_08A system of interlocking joints ensures strong, accurate connections and incredibly rapid assembly.
