Architectural models are made with meticulous and precise work, requiring experience as well. The model project of an architectural structure is presented in an exhibition or presentation where the details, history, and construction process of the structure are explained. Models of ancient and valuable architectural structures are shown with their details in exhibitions and presentations to be better introduced. The fidelity of architectural models to reality makes them very popular during exhibitions.
Architectural models are specific to each building, and once the scale is determined, the project details must be worked on accordingly. It is especially important to choose a material that can handle details and preserve its durability over time. Model projects for architectural models can cover periods from the Ottoman era to earlier and more recent periods. Professional models of many architectural structures such as the Selimiye Mosque, the Süleymaniye Mosque, the Topkapı Palace, Anıtkabir, the Basilica Cistern, the Galata Tower, the Dolmabahçe Palace, the Maiden's Tower, and many others can be made.
The production of architectural models requires extremely important craftsmanship. If the model is to represent a mosque, for example, the craftsmanship of the minarets and domes must be designed to match reality, with a scale between 1/100 and 1/500. If a model of the Galata Tower or the Maiden's Tower is to be made, the decorations at the entrance of the tower and on the tower must exactly match the model. In the case of a historical palace such as the Topkapı Palace or the Beylerbeyi Palace, each part of the palace must be made to scale, and the details must match those of the real palace. Advanced systems in the models such as light, sound, and water effects also contribute to making the models more realistic.
Architectural models requiring craftsmanship should be made by professional architects to ensure perfect quality. Therefore, when choosing a company for architectural models to entrust a model project for an architectural structure, it is important that the engineers and architects with whom it works are also experienced. Additionally, the best guide for choosing a company is to review previously completed and delivered works as well as the customer satisfaction level.
