Some supporting lessons are given during the training to overcome these deficiencies. In these lessons, model making becomes an essential reinforcement to learning in building construction lessons. In this study, a model-making method is used to increase the three-dimensional visual perceptions of architecture students and to improve their acquisition styles. The study’s scope consists of 1/10 scale and 30x30 cm-scale model studies applied in the Building Information I course given in the Fall Semester of the 2019-2020 Academic Year in the Department of Architecture of Ondokuz Mayıs University. The study aimed to equip students with information that they can use in both forward-looking design and model studies. Besides, a questionnaire study was carried out to determine the contribution of the research to students. The results of the questionnaire revealed that the subjects covered in the course were better comprehended. The level of knowledge about building materials increased, and the study was also useful in the project lessons. In this context, it is revealed that performing model applications in building information courses in architectural education will provide an outstanding contribution and advantage. In conclusion, some succinct suggestions are made on the course content and the curriculum of the departments.}, number={2}, publisher={Abdulkadir UZUNÖZ}
