Résumé:
« 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:
La maquette est un monde miniature qui émerveille et interroge tout à la fois. Son principe de réduction est proche de celui du jouet. La maquette a toujours joué un rôle crucial dans l'architecture, non seulement comme instrument de représentation, mais comme langage proche de la création artistique. L'auteure aborde le rôle de la maquette d'architecture dans sa porosité avec la création artistique tout au long du xxe siècle, des avant-gardes historiques à l'architecture radicale des années 1960-1970, jusqu'à l'avènement des technologies numériques. Des Architectones de Malévitch à l'Endless House de Frederick Kiesler, du Spatiovore de Constant à Casa Madre d'Andrea Branzi, la maquette se révèle un véritable objet d'expérimentation artistique, un outil ludique pour cartographier la complexité du monde.

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.

Résumé:
Today, the physical scale model is a centrepiece for design education, celebrated practices and architecture’s public relations. The development of digital fabrication devices has made model manufacture even more pervasive. The physical model is the most accessible form of architectural communication. Clients and the general public seem to immediately respond to and understand the model, over blueprints and computer simulations. Many architects use finished models for presentations, competitions and exhibitions. Others also embrace sketch models as quick, economic and flexible generative tools. It is only with the rise of the virtual that the advantages and disadvantages of more traditional models can be fully evaluated. As attested by this book, we are now at an important watershed for the model in architecture. Practitioners and educators alike are seeking to fully understand the multiplicity of model types and how they might be strategically deployed at appropriate stages in the design process. The historic role that the model has played is outlined with attention paid to Alberti, John Soane, the Bauhaus and education reforms. A cultural history is offered by examining models in the guise of toys, food, cinema, product design, souvenirs, narrative and art. Model theories are considered and tied to specific examples in the field. New technologies and creative combinations of traditional model-making techniques are evaluated. Kinetic, multi-media, nightscape and interdisciplinary models reveal the broad scope and exceptional versatility offered by this important tool. Models: Architecture and the Miniature focuses on current model use and experimentation by architects across the globe including David Chipperfield, Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Daniel Libeskind, Greg Lynn and UN Studio.

Résumé:
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.
