Book Signing and Reception for Megan Werner's new book Model Making

Join us at ARCH on December 8th from 6 - 8pm for a reception and book signing with Megan Werner, author of the book Model Making published by Princeton Architectural Press.  Megan is a Bay Area model maker and founder of zDp Models.  She is also an adjunct professor in the interior design department at California College of the Arts.

From the Princeton Architectural Website;

"Our latest addition to the Architecture Briefs series presents the nuts and bolts of model making. In thirty-three "concept blocks," Megan Werner explores a wide range of possible types including laser-scored acrylic models, basswood topography models, acid etched metal blocks, peeled paper blocks, D-print models, cement pour blocks, and many more. Model Making includes handy appendices on materials, tools, and tips and techniques, as well as a glossary of design concepts."


Also check out Megan, in her own words discussing how the concept of her book together:

We had an amazing time hosting this years Papergirl Roll & Ride.  Seeing the faces of those who received their "free art!" was so much fun and we couldn't have had better weather for a bike ride across San Francisco.
