Résumé :

This paper discusses the different models used in design situation. It relies on a learning experience conducted for eight years: "Wood Challenges." This workshop meets for a week, fifty students in architecture and wood-engineering. A design methodology based on the use of models allows us to imagine and simulate the construction of a wooden inventive structure. In describing the various models and the attributes attached to them, we show that the use of these models allows cross-fertilize the transition from an idea to its concrete materialization.
Keywords: design process, models, architecture and wood ingeneering, learning experience
