Base-Model articulation and Detailing
There is a difference between using components for base-model articulation and for detailing. 
Components used for base-model articulation help the building, interior, or site-plan model 
reflect the form and space of the design intent. Components used for detailing are intended to 
accentuate the model’s design. Listed here are some general base-model typologies. Their use 
is intended as a general approach; the appropriateness and results will depend on the space 
and its use.
Interior Base Models
Interior models are defined by floors, ceilings, walls, partitions, doors, windows, and a minimal 
amount of furnishings and objects paralleling the space’s intent (Fig. 13.3, Fig. 13.4). Some 
examples of minimal furnishings are the following:
