Form Making in Architecture and Construction. Analysis of Breadboarding and 3D Modeling: Facets of Discourse

Introduction. The present article raises an issue important for breadboarding — the future of this field of activity. Breadboarding is a developing technology, which has become a sphere of occupation for many people, whose work results are highly appreciated in the fields of science and construction. 3D modeling is also becoming popular in the similar fields, having its own digital (innovative) advantages. The detailed analysis, allows us to find the pros and cons of both technologies. Materials and Methods. The methodological framework of the research includes the conventional scientific methods, as well as the emerging interdisciplinary approaches characteristic for the architecture and construction. The material studied in the present article refers to the evolution of the technological concepts of architectural prototyping the facilities of capital construction and reconstruction by the example of 3D modeling and breadboarding. Results. It has been found that form making by means of breadboarding and 3D modeling is widely used at different stages of the advanced construction, innovative reconstruction and up to date restoration. Discussion and Conclusion. The study of breadboarding and 3D modeling reveals that these technological concepts are getting popular in the fields of construction and architecture.
