The advent of easy to use 3d software has made it easier and cheaper to create digital models, not just for architects but for all professions dealing in construction.

The physical model remains however one of the most important and powerful modes of design available to an architect, linking ideas in the mind to tangible and physical representations in space.

To summarize, it's a balance between CAD and real models, sketches on napkins and construction drawings.

What is the difference between idea physical and computer models?

A physical model is one that you build or have built that you can touch. Sometimes it is a miniature version of what the real thing would be (like if you were creating a model of say a building, park, airplane or other large structure or area), sometimes it's actual size if it is small enough.A computer model is a representation that may appear to be in 3-D, but it only exists within a computer and can be only viewed on a monitor or tablet. It cannot be physically touched or held, but you can move the computer program's "camera" throughout the model so you can see details that may be more difficult to see with a physical model.
