Please share your comments on 2 of the following Points to Ponder questions. (Choose 2 of the questions below.)

Should all buildings be modeled first using conceptual masses?

When is it needed/appropriate? And when not?

For example, should you create a conceptual mass model of a small house?

In my opinion, only bigger buildings or buildings with more unique designs need to be modeled with conceptual masses. Smaller houses can be modeled and built more easily with the usual process of building walls first and so on. Conceptual masses allow one to think outside of the box and create models beyond the limitations of walls and lines.

Can you think of any examples of a real building around the world that most likely was created by exploring the form using conceptual mass models?

Please post and share images of these examples to this Notion page.
