Custom 1:1000 Urban Masterplan Scale Model | AECOM Shanghai Jiading Project Case

Premium 1:1000 Masterplan Model for Shanghai Jiading Central District | Custom Urban Scale Model by QZYMODELS
Overview
Collaborated with global top design firm AECOM, QZYMODELS delivered a high-precision 1:1000 large-scale urban planning physical model for the core urban district of Shanghai Jiading. Spanning 2m × 2m, this full-city masterplan model was fully finished within only 15 working days, demonstrating our integrated high-efficiency manufacturing workflow and professional model craftsmanship for international urban design, master planning and architectural clients worldwide.

Advanced Multi-Material Craftsmanship & Production Technology
To perfectly restore AECOM’s sophisticated urban layout concept, we combined multi-precision processing technologies and premium raw materials for layered visual hierarchy:
Maple Wood Veneer Base & Road Network
Double-layer hot-pressed maple veneer is adopted for the entire ground base and road system, delivering natural delicate wood grain texture and stable flat substrate for long-term exhibition use.
Differentiated Landscaping System
Custom miniature tree models with species grading are deployed to separate roadside avenue trees and central park landscape vegetation, reproducing layered urban green space planning vividly.
Ultra-Fine Core Building Detailing
Key landmark high-rises adopt laser carved frame structures paired with transparent acrylic glass curtain wall simulation. The thinnest structural component reaches merely 0.4mm, realizing ultra-miniature architectural facade details. Unique geometric landscape art installations in the central zone are manufactured via semi-transparent 3D printing to show light-transmitting artistic effects.
Hierarchical Peripheral Building Blocks
Surrounding low-rise and residential blocks are produced by 3D printing blank blanks, then manually covered with thin maple veneer. The unified natural wood tone creates obvious visual contrast with elaborately detailed core landmarks, naturally highlighting the project’s central design focus.
Matte UV Printed Water Landscape
All river, lake and water system areas are finished with matte UV printing technology, achieving realistic calm water texture without reflective glare for clear exhibition viewing.
