Creating miniature models of buildings can serve many purposes, including for appreciation. But another key purpose is a treasured practice that saw models being used by Chinese architects as a form of blueprint to construct wooden buildings, as veteran Chinese architect Ma Bingjian explained to CGTN host Julian Waghann.
