A little while ago I completed a period of work experience with architectural firm, Durbach Block. The company is known for their Balsa wood mock up and presentation models of residential and commercial architecture which they fondly present to clients. I was given the task of completing (in a few days) a Balsa wood model of the Centre Le Corbusier to present to them at the end of the stint. The images above are of the mostly completed model which they were thoroughly pleased with.


Neil Durbach, part owner of the practice, commented that “many people simply end up presenting a pile of sticks to us at the end!”


During this period I also had the privilege of site inspecting the half - constructed Roslyn Street building which the practice also designed, accompanying Neil Durbach and two others. It was a fantastic “behind the scenes” look at a fantastic piece of architecture loosely based on the designs of Antonio Gaudi.
