Should all buildings be modeled first using conceptual masses?

When is it needed/appropriate? And when not?

It is appropriate when they can resemble conceptual masses but some buildings are too fine detailed that cannot follow this strategy.

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

A small house can be more easily made by manually making the walls, floors, etc.

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.

The Burj Khalifa seems as if it was created using cylinders of different shapes.
