In this article, the authors present the long tradition and common use of physical models in the process of teaching the history of architecture in higher education institutions. The research described in the article is focused on the use of physical models and mock-ups as stimulants during architectural history classes to support lectures and increase the learning capabilities of students. The authors also cover the general use of such models across the history of mankind as the main carrier of the designer’s ideas. The presence of these models in public spaces and their artistic values are also touched upon, as well as the models’ positive impact on the general sightseeing public. The findings confirmed that both physical and digital models help architecture students to visualise abstractions and space, thus increasing their learning capabilities. The broader public also benefits through the popularisation of models in public spaces.
