Maquettes are mini models that are typically used in architecture and sculpture work to help visualize how the finished piece will look before beginning construction. When creating compelling visualizations for science, we are often visualizing objects that cannot be observed in 3D space (such as viruses). Here, maquettes are used to help us understand how such objects would behave in 3D space, such as realistic lighting and form. In this workshop we will be using everyday objects to create a maquette of the COVID-19 virus, and use it to create a base for a simple scientific illustration.

Objectives:

Understand how maquettes are used for science visualization.
Discuss different methods of creating maquettes (physical materials, 3D programs).
Create a maquette of the COVID-19 virus out of everyday objects (see a list of recommended supplies for the maquette activity below).

This workshop was held on February 19, 2021, and was led by Farah Hamade, UCSF Library's current Artist in Residence. To learn more about the Artist in Residence program, visit the UCSF Library website.
