Summary:
Fantasmapolis, la ville contemporaine et ses imaginaires est le fruit d'une réflexion sur la ville à l'ère de la globalisation. L'exposition réalisée dans ce cadre réunit des artistes qui abordent la ville contemporaine dans des perspectives utopiques, critiques ou poétiques. L'association de leurs œuvres crée un paysage urbain fantasmagorique plutôt qu'elle ne témoigne d'un regard documentaire. La circulation accrue des personnes et la communication accélérée des informations transforment les espaces urbains en lieux de transit où l'individu tend à disparaître. Reste alors un décor architectural immobile, suspendu dans le temps et dans l'espace. Les artistes proposent des visions de villes décontextualisées : cités existantes ou imaginaires, elles forment un univers urbain fantasmé. Conçu à la fois comme un complément de l'exposition et un ouvrage théorique, ce catalogue rassemble des textes qui reflètent une recherche pluridisciplinaire autour de la ville contemporaine. Valérie Mavridorakis et David Perreau introduisent la publication en résumant la problématique de Fantasmapolis. Évoquant la globalisation, Elvan Zabunyan inscrit le propos de l'exposition dans une perspective postcoloniale. Un texte de Lieven de Cauter présente les processus de théâtralisation qui affectent l'urbanité. Bruce Bégout se livre à une investigation philosophique de Las Vegas, emblème de la ville décor. Un entretien avec l'architecte et urbaniste Serge Wachter permet de soulever des questions relatives au transit urbain. Marie-Ange Brayer analyse l'utilisation de la maquette d'architecture dans l'art contemporain. Enfin, un écrit inédit de Bodys Isek Kingelez complète cet espace de réflexion et introduit les notices consacrées aux artistes.

Books about architectural model-making as a discipline of its own are few and far between. The present publication therefore presents detailed portraits of around twenty model-making workshops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, providing ready reference and giving architects easy access to information about modern methods of architectural model-making. The changes affecting the model-making profession in the age of computer-aided design are discussed and, in an introductory essay by writer and historian Ansgar Oswald, the role this centuries-old craft played in the context of European architecture from the Renaissance to the present day is portrayed. The book speaks up for architectural model-making as an indispensable stage in the design process and an expressive means of decision-making.

Summary:
Swiss artists Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann have been collaborating since 1990, gaining international recognition as Lang/Baumann (or L/B). Their collaborative work comprises installations, sculptures, murals, and floor paintings, as well as architectural interventions. Models play a key role in their creative process. A model can serve three purposes: a quick three-dimensional sketch, a working model to test a concept, or a presentation to show the result once the design process is complete. L/B use all three types. This book brings together for the first time all the models that L/B have made for the projects they have pursued over thirty-three years. It forms a complete catalog of their oeuvre to date in miniature format, also featuring projects that were never developed beyond the model stage. Nearly one hundred and twenty color illustrations are supplemented by two essays on iconography in Lang/Baumann’s work and on the playful aspect of model making. A conversation with Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann rounds off the book.

Summary:
For thousands of years, architects have used models to invent, experiment and communicate. A world in miniature, such models are even more varied in their purposes and materials than their full-scale counterparts. This elegant book explores the fascinating nature of the architectural model through 26 illustrated essays, one for each letter of the alphabet. Unbound by the practicalities of life-size construction, models allow architects the flexibility and freedom to think in three dimensions. Whether made for purely speculative exercises or to solve a specific problem, they are aids to the imagination. Equally, they can be used as detailed representations of particular places, either built or as yet unrealized, in order to convey information to patrons or the public. Models also have a vibrant life outside the architect’s office, including as souvenirs, architectural fragments displayed in museums, and toys for children and adults alike. Written by architects, model-makers, curators, conservators and scholars, the texts in this absorbing ''Alphabet'' explore such fundamental issues as modelling materials and techniques, scale, and the role of the model in the design process. They also go beyond conventional accounts to look at models under the X-ray machine, their use in film, and edible models. The result is a wide-ranging, original account of the multiple lives of the architectural model.

Summary:
Modelling Time: The Permanent Collection 1925–2014 chronicles the exhibition Model as Ruin at the House of Artists in Oslo, November 1 – December 15, 2013. Together with master students from the Oslo School of Architecture and Design, Mari Hvattum and Mari Lending brought a unique, modernist model collection out of the archives, re-exhibiting it at the venue that once hosted its biggest ever display in 1931. The collection testifies to a different modernism; not white and austere but colourful, diverse, and full of detail. Modelling Time gives an in-depth portrayal of the so-called ‘Permanent Collection’ of Norwegian scale models, photographs and drawings, tracing its international trajectory of exhibitions from Brussels in 1927 to its last appearance at the World’s Fair in New York in 1939. The book documents the collection’s heydays as part of a vivid international modernist culture, as well as its archival diaspora as it falls into oblivion after WWII. In an extensive, archive-based essay editors Lending and Hvattum give the full context of the collection, while Juliane Derry and Jorge Otero-Pailos look into the models’ materiality and issues of decay. Model scholars and architecture curators Barry Bergdoll, Carson Chan, Pippo Ciorra, Oliver Elser, Juliet Koss, Andres Lepik, Adam Lowe, Wallis Miller, Jorge Otero-Pailos, Léa-Catherine Szacka, and Victor Plathe Tschudi presents a variety of perspectives inspired by the Oslo collection.
