Abstract:Model is the bridge connecting ideas and actual architecture.There’s intimate connections between conceptions of architecture design and working models. In the architecture education, it is proved to be effective to enhance the ability of spatial awareness and design communication by using working models. The study bases on the teaching cases, puts forward the point of using working models with proper procedures taking apart complicated architectural concept issues. The logic of space and conformation structure,the expression of material and structures can be trained in this process. The space prototype can be obtained based on comprehension of the design requirements and the model material. The structure and module assists to forming a logic of design ideas and the operation method. Thus the material can be talked over to help space integration. Finally, the working model leads to formal drawings and models.
