Architectural Modeler
So you are given a couple of sketches and perhaps an AutoCAD file and you must recreate a building using foam, plastic, and paper trees. That is a lot of glue to dry. Besides a good background in geometry, architectural modelers need to be able to create molds of small windows, lampposts, fencing, etc. that are specific and customized; and make plastic pieces that they later have to fit together like a puzzle. With new technology merging with new construction
materials, modelers need to be creative when recreating a more modern structure with twists and curves that are neither natural nor typical of what we think a building should look like. The model in the picture is a big as the woman sitting next to it. Can you imaging the thought involved when considering the placement of each piece?
