Scale Model Power Point Questions

1.) A scale model is a representation or copy of an object that is larger than the actual size of it.
2.) One type of scale model is the study/ working model, which is quickly built to show the preliminary nature of the design. The other type, presentation/ finished model, is a fully developed design with a lot of detail and high levels of craftmanship.
3.) Advantages of a working scale model are that elevations can be moved and taped into place when needed for study or review. Also, it can be easily taken apart for storage and transportation. Limitations are that is doesnt show design details as accurately and is less realistic in terms of space.
4.) Advantages of a presentation scale model are that is shows design details like colors and textures. Limitations include high cost, time consuming, and requires expensive tools.
5.) We will be making one working model of our entire apartment and one presentation model of  3 of the major rooms.  

Jed Johnson

I really like the interior design of Jed Johnson. In 1967, he delivered a telegram to Andy Warhol's Factory and was hired only to sweep the floors. Through this job Johnson got an opportunity to direct Any Warhol's Bad. He lived with Warhol for several years and deisgned the inside of his townhouse. While living with Warhol, he found success as a film director and an interior designer. This was essentially his design school. Johnson died at the age of 47 in the tragic crash of TWA flight 800 in 1996. Jed Johnson has his own interior design firm Jed Johnson Associates.he offers luxury textiles, furniture and decorative accessories. The hallmark of the collection is enduring quality. From the finely woven silks and textures, to the hand-printed and embroidered linen-cotton blends, to the hand-crafted furnishings in warm oaks and exotic woods utilizing elements of richly wrought bronze, copper and nickel, the emphasis is always on the design details and is expressed by the artists and craftsmen. Through his works he is able to evoke different moods within you.
