Summary:
The model is one of the oldest means of architectural representation and comes in an extravagant variety of forms, from miniaturizations of reality mesmerizing in their exactness to wildly energetic sculptural representations. "Modeling Messages: The Architect and the Model" is a study of the contemporary model, American and international, and its myriad uses in architectural practice. Among the illustrations are inventive designs by architects Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, and Rem Koolhaas. Author Karen Moon discusses the meaning of the model for the architect, the relationship between model and building, and the impact of scale. She also explores how architects use models for presentation and the creation of a public image. In addition, she focuses on the practice of model making: the relationship between the architect and the maker; the materials and new technologies that are transforming model making.

Summary:
"Staging the Moon: Resource extraction beyond Earth" is a publication of the Luxembourg Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia 2023. It critically unpacks Luxembourg’s role in space-mining developments from the perspective of resources. Curators Francelle Cane and Marija Mari? transform the pavilion into a "lunar laboratory": a space for testing human technologies on the Moon that also doubles as a media studio "staging" corporate narratives of positive change. From the development of human settlements on the Moon to the mining of asteroids for rare minerals and metals, the wild imaginaries of extraction-driven growth have, quite literally, transcended the boundaries of Earth. This volume collects essays and fragments of research on the shifting of resource exploitation from the exhausted Earth to its celestial hinterland, and begins an urgent debate on the impact this shift will have on our understanding of land, resources and commons.

Summary:
The subject of the book is an architectural encounter with the psyche, the starting point being an intervention in a solitary confinement cell of a psychiatric clinic in 1997. Crumbling edges, shifting perceptions, a world of confinement and liberated space, ... a network of thoughts and illusions, ... "sequences" describes the development of architectonic structures in an in-between world of unstable equilibrium. Architecture, art, psychiatry, psychology and philosophy are all linked by perception. By means of pictures, drawings and (thought) models, the different layers are exposed. The book has no beginning and no end, it offers an insight into various sequences involved in the design process
