The construction of my model required selecting materials that were lightweight, easy to shape, and durable enough to hold the structure together. I primarily used foam board for the base and walls because it provided a strong foundation while still being simple to measure and cut. Additional materials such as cardboard, wood pieces, glue, paint, and decorative supplies were used to create smaller structural details and improve the overall appearance of the building. Each material was chosen for a specific purpose, similar to how architects and builders select materials based on function, cost, and design needs. The building process began with measuring and cutting the base with balsa wood to establish the footprint of the structure. From there, I constructed the exterior walls first so the overall shape of the building could be defined before adding smaller features. Wood glue was used carefully to keep walls aligned and secure, while repeated adjustments were made whenever pieces did not fit properly. After assembly, I painted sections and added finishing touches to create a cleaner, more realistic final presentation. Through this stage of the project, I learned that construction is rarely a perfect one-step process. It requires patience, precision, and the ability to revise plans when materials behave differently than expected. This part of the project helped me better understand how architects transform ideas into physical forms through planning, experimentation, and hands-on problem-solving.
