Nearly forty years’ experience in teaching General Building Engineering to students of the Facult y of Architecture allows the author to take a detailed look into the changes occurring in the process. One of the mo re significant issues in building solutions is the considerable advancement in construction technology that took place during this period. S tructural elements of the building are no longer single -material solutions , more and more often they form a multilayer structure. Assembling a structural system of the building from such complex components requires adequate spatial imagination , which is a growing problem for newer generations of future architects. Despite the options that arise from computer visualisation, one has failed to achieve better results in terms of quality of students’ spatial imagination. Creating traditional, even rough preliminary, models is still most efficient in th is respect. The aim of the article is to present the benefits of creating models in the process of teaching General Building Engineering to future architects.
