| Reference: Hintergrundinformationen Reference information: Ich kann zwar gerade nicht mit dem englischen Begriff dienen, aber folgende deutsche Quellen verdeutlichen, was ein Massenmodell ist: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modell_(Architektur)#Typen "Massenmodell: Stellt die Baumassen von Baukörpern dar. Einfache, massive Kuben repräsentieren die Bauwerke." http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Massenmodell.jpg Um einen Prototypen wie in der von elsefien vorgeschlagenen Antwort geht es hier nicht. |
