	In very general terms, a model is a representation, often three-dimensional, of a structure system or procedure. It can represent something that already exists, or may be a model that it is intended will be adopted or followed.

Historically, such models have been physical representations, made from materials such as paper, cardboard, timber, and so on. These can be used to help explain proposals to clients, planning officers, members of the public and other stakeholders, or they can be used as tools to help designers explore complicated three-dimensional aspects of a design.	+	A building, such as an architectural model is a type of model (often to scale) built to develop or represent aspects of a design or to communicate design ideas.

	Model-based design is a process that involves creating digital representations systems to help with design development and decision-making. It allows rapid analysis and comparison of design alternatives, co-ordination of and collaboration between team members, clear communication and visualisation of information, easy alteration, clash avoidance, and so on.

	Parametric modelling (or parametric design) is the creation of a digital model based on a series of pre-programmed rules or algorithms known as 'parameters'. That is, the model, or elements of it are generated automatically by internal logic arguments rather than by being manually manipulated. For example, a rule might be created to ensure that walls must start at floor level and reach the underside of the ceiling. Then if the floor to ceiling height is changed, the walls will automatically adjust to suit.
