Résumé

"An instrument of communication and a means of design development: there is no substitute for the physical model. It is no coincidence that architecture and model making share a rich history. Models are so intrinsic to the design process that it is hard to imagine how a design can be fully understood without their contribution. The most important models are those that lead to design conviction, that strengthen the design though their production and evaluation. This major reference source presents works by renowned scale model studios. It showcases architectural models of avant-garde architects and designers from all over the world, including: * JDS Architects * UN Studio * J. Mayer H. Architects * The Next Enterprise * David Garcia Studio"
