HÖWELER & YOON, FACADE STUDIES FOR RESIDENTIAL TOWER IN BOSTON
Divided into discrete blocks of 3, 4, 5, and 6 story packages, the building’s exterior facades put in place irregularly spaced opaque panels, alternating with recessed glass infill panels. Generating a relief texture, the vertical multi-story precast panels with a concave, scalloped geometry “create a unique optical effect, as well as some self-shading on the eastern and western exposures”.https://www.archdaily.com/936868/sasaki-and-howeler-plus-yoon-announce-new-residential-tower-in-boston

OMA New York studio visit - interview - talking about the model shop and the blue foam models: https://www.world-architects.com/en/architecture-news/insight/studio-visit-oma-ny
OMA is renowned for, among many other things, its blue foam models. They have in effect popularized the material's use for loads of architects, many of them former employees. Of course, working with foam, hot wire cutters, and other materials and tools requires a dedicated model-making area, and OMA has one that is cluttered but efficient. When I asked if there was a laser cutter or similar machine, Mr. Shigematsu pointed out that he prefers architects to work with their hands on the early stages of projects, therefore keeping computer-generated models for later presentations when they contract out for them to be made.
