The contribution of architecture models in trash pile might be more of an innocuous one amongst many others. However, there are many small portions in a wasteland that started to take life on its own. How many arch model trash piles are we going to dismiss when there are thousands of architecture schools around the globe with hundreds of students making models each semester? How about the amount of money we collectively spend on models (that will most likely end up in a trash bin after a semester)? Yes, our profession does not have a critical discourse regarding model making practice because we do not want to measure what we consider as a "must" impact on the environment as a whole. Our pedagogical practice could be way more sustainable than it is now.

Instead of condemning an invaluable practice, maybe it's time to think outside the box and find new ways to recycle models. For example, architectural models could be contributed to local game shops for physical terrain to be used in war games and role-playing games.
