The same steps were taken to model stepped terraces as for the modeling
of the surfaces and the curb, with the apron of each terrace being
modeled like a surface and the risers between each terrace step being
modeled like a curb.

Stage 3.3: Modeling the Buildings and Other
Built Elements
At the center of the model of Place Van Zeeland, three types of build-
ings had to be constructed that corresponded to three levels of detail,
based on the size and the function of the buildings. The residential
premises were modeled very quickly, since their role in the model was
to show the sizes and the different sorts of openings in the façades that
surround the square.
Another architect modeled the building that faces the amphitheater,
imported it into SketchUp, and cleaned it up to reduce its poly count as much
as possible. Materials were then applied to this model according to the color
chart that was put together from on-site photographs.
The former school was modeled in more detail, since it has a very imposing
presence at the southeast of the square. The same was done for the school
near the covered market, reproducing the characteristic rhythm of the fenes-
tration on the main façades.
