Abstract: As a means to assist Chinese classical garden design, the model can spatialize and visualize the 2D graphic design drawings, and optimize the design plans. This paper surveys records of 2012—2014 Zhejiang A&F University landscape architecture students’ Chinese classical garden design course models. From the perspective of the students, it summarizes a set of the most representative model making method and puts forward the five ways of “foam spell cut”, “stacked concave and convex”, “paper card splicing”, “claysculpture” and “dry branch freehand brushwork” to make model chassis, waterscape, classical garden architecture, rockeries and plant sceneries, so as to provide reference for Chinese classical garden design course model making
