Résumé:
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.

« D’après Maquettes », c’est le temps de l’étude préparatoire, de la projection mais parfois, aussi, celui de mondes miniatures qui n’en appellent pas de plus grands. Légères et malléables, les maquettes mettent en jeu le regard, la main et l’ensemble du corps, en multipliant les points de vue. Elles sont au cœur des pratiques artistiques qui en déjouent les codes et en réinventent la fonction. Cet ouvrage est le premier d’une collection entièrement dédiée à la scénographie, artistes, conservateurs, architectes, scénographes, historiens et théoriciens de l’art y partagent leurs recherches et leurs réflexions présentées alternativement sous la forme d’essais illustrés ou de portfolios consacrés à des œuvres.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
The model and its architecture explores the relationship between knowledge and models in both scientific and architectural discourse. The significance of the model for Platonic philosophy and the contesting of this in the work of Deleuze forms the background for a consideration of the consequences of the debate in current architectural oractice. At the heart if these responses is the problem of process, of design, cosmology and creative work within the layered relations of philosophy and architecture. The various conceptions of the model for architecture are examined in the writings of Vitruvius, Renaissance theorists, and philosphers of pre-modern Isla.

Résumé:
Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) is the most renowned and popular architect and designer in America. His buildings, including Fallingwater and New York's Guggenheim Museum, are iconic landmarks. Now you can create 14 of his best loved buildings using the art of kirigami (cutting and folding). Each project features step-by-step instructions and a template that you remove from the book. You follow the lines on the template, cutting and folding to make your own model. All you need is a craft knife, a cutting mat, and a ruler. Clear cutting tips help you with the tricky stages, while photos of the finished model show you the final design. To make things easier, the most intricate parts of the templates are pre-die-cut. Then simply display your finished model and admire your handiwork. Suitable for folding experts and beginners alike, Frank Lloyd Wright Paper Models is a must for Wright fans and architectural model enthusiasts.

Résumé:
Modeling History revisits the material legacy of Kenneth Frampton's course Studies in Tectonic Culture, a collection of models familiar to anyone who has passed through Avery Hall. It looks back in order to project forward, and asks how the construction of architectural history through the making of models might generate new histories, practices, and ways of seeing. Produced on the occasion of the exhibition 'Stagecraft: Models and Photos' at Columbia University's Arthur RossArchitecture Gallery, Modeling History moves between modes of representation, past and present, to explore Frampton's theory and pedagogy concerning tectonics. The sixteen photographs enclosed in this book by photographer James Ewing reveal the possibilities of Frampton's radical approach today. Each image not only reengages with a model built during Frampton's seminar, but, by playing with the potentials of photography, also aspires to project similar material, tectonic, and poetic realities. Printed in a limited edition of 250 copies.
