B.15 Model Archive Online is a hybrid digital and physical resource at the Manchester School of Architecture. The project aims to record and publish the innovations and diversity of designing-through-physical modelmaking from the school’s own archival and recent student projects. The B.15 Media Archive features video content from academic and professional practitioners on the subject of architectural modelmaking in practice and education.

In addition to this, The Architects Index of Modelmaking (AiM) hosts an insight into the widespread continued use of physical modelmaking in contemporary architectural practice. This resource will provide a source of inspiration and career direction for those wanting to focus their pursuits on this practical design thinking tool.
