What is architecture, and what do architects do?

2. Scale Model or Drawing
Used to represent an object that is too large or too small to be drawn or built at actual sizes
This airplane is a 1:5 scale , one foot on the model is 5 feet on the real thing.

3. Architects use scale models…
to show what something will look like before it is built.

4. For our you can pick you scale: for example if:
1cm = 2 feet
(1 centimeter represents 2 feet)
For example: A door usually measures about 7 feet tall by 3 feet wide. For our model we divide each of these by 2 and therefore a door would be 3.5cm tall and 1.5 cm wide.

5. Example 2: Determine the Scale
The height of a wall in your dreamhouse is supposed to be 8 feet. How tall would the scale model be if 1 cm = 2 feet?
Answer: 8 ÷ 2 = 4cm
