520 1 ^aModeling Messages: The Architect and the Model is a studyof the contemporary model and its myriad uses in architectural practice, focusing on the object itself - its makers, materials, and methods of fabrication - and onits roles within the design profession and for the public.Author Karen Moon identifies two principal types of models: those made for the relatively private functions of design and exchange of ideas and those prepared for the typically more public purposes of communication and presentation. Grounded in a discussion of historic models - Michelangelo^'s massive wooden models of Renaissance churches, Sir John Soane^'s beautifully crafted replicas ofthe Bank of England, Kasimir Malevich^'s Suprematist Architektons of the early twentieth century - the author^'stext draws as well on her extensive interviews with architects and modelmakers. Illustrations include rare archival images along with spectacular and creative modelsfrom noted international architects.^"--BOOK JACKET. |
