ABSTRACT
Model-making plays an important role in architectural design projects. Models can depict how a building fits into its surroundings without revealing every detail, or they might highlight a particular feature of the structure. Model making is important to better understand how the architectural design adopts the energy efficiency of a structure. Active learning through the Modelmaking method has been useful to learners in developing their conceptual design using three modes: a) Observations b) By doing c) Problem-solving. When the beginners start their project, it has been observed that they are unable to understand the three-dimensional form and find it difficult to study climate-responsive architecture / sustainable building design. Physical model making is an extremely versatile tool for the design process, conducting research, and introducing three-dimensional designs. It may assist the process used to explore different forms in Architectural design. It also refers to an educational strategy that uses engaging learning processes tailored to the learners' requirements and interests. Model making is a vast domain, and there are many aspects about how to be understood in relation to its use, presentation, experimentation, testing (prototype), etc. The research underlines how the assumptions and accessibility of a technology education design process may give learners many opportunities to learn about models and modeling.
