*Special Requirement: All projects will have to be bid and approved before the end of April to qualify.

Economic Indicators are Pointing Up for 
Shopping Center Business & Model Makers

Retail is on the rise. I am grabbing any good economic information I can find these days. If you believe the news reports or articles from the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), people are retuning to the stores for some retail therapy. As one reporter described it, there is a "burn out of frugality". 

What does this mean for us in the model making world. Surprisingly enough, shopping centers were at one point a good percentage of our business. Not much has been done with them in the last few years, and as of today I have yet to see a huge upswing in new shopping construction--but I do believe it is coming back even if it is slowly. 

With the giant ICSC show is opening in Las Vegas at the end of May, we are expecting to have new models represented on the shows floor as we have in the past. The Las Vegas ICSC show is the place were most major retail deals are made.  Attendees know, it is a great showcase for new construction. 

 

I would love to hear from the design and construction industry if you are seeing a change this year because personally, I am ready and looking forward to an economic boom any day now.

Archetype 3D has new website for understanding architectural scale model making and engineering models

Posted by craig in three dimensional , resort model , prototypes , physical models , model making , model design , marketing model , environment model , engineering models , diorama , architectural scale models , architectural models , architects , Archetype 3D , acrylic models , 3D models , 3d model

Craig Martin -President                                                               Many new things are afoot here at Archetype 3D. I have hired Bob Castellino as my marketing manager who immediately took it upon himself to change how we do things. The most apparent change to those who care about model making is the new look to our website. I was told that the home page of our old website did not pass the 10 year old test. That is, my web guru showed our home page to his 10-year old and asked him to explain what we do for a living. His answer might have been "they build condos?" but it sure wasn't "Cool, they build models!"

Now when you look at our website "Archetype 3D" We I am hoping that model making jumps immediately to your mind. Let me know if it doesn't because the other nice thing about our new website is that it is easily changeable. The site is not complete by any means. Hopefully we will be updating it constantly and we are currently reorganizing the portfolio pages so that samples from our vast collections of models will be easier to access. The purpose of these changes are two fold. We are making it easier for our existing clients to see samples of our work and progress on the projects that are in our shop. We also are raising our status with the search engines to broaden our appeal and introduce us to a whole new market of designers and developers. I welcome any feedback from our clients, send me any compliments that you have and feel free to forward any criticisms to Bob Castellino, bob@archetype3d.com or dial direct 303-449-0878 (he has thicker skin than I have). I hope you all are having a great summer.

Building Off of the Grid - Architectural Scales Models with the Environment in Mind

Posted by admin in model example , environment model , Archetype 3D

badge-photoI enjoy seeing residences that take sustainable design and combine it with good architecture. Especially when the sustainable residence serves a purpose, like helping to sustain the surrounding environment. Check out this posting by Inhabitat. It’s a beautiful home in the middle of New Mexico’s ranch land. This development helps protect over 10,000 acres of previously used ranch land from becoming another suburbia wasteland. Preserving the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape for all to enjoy. Howard Williams – Director Sales/Marketing

A few years ago Archetype 3D built an architectural model of a residence in Arizona. Similar style architecture and another great example of building with the environment in mind. Check out some pictures:
