Abstract

Les premières maquettes d'architecture sont apparues il y a quelque 8.000 ans. Les Égyptiens en plaçaient dans les sépultures, la société grecque démocratique y avait recours pour choisir les architectes, la Renaissance italienne en propage le goût dans toute l'Europe, les officiers de Louis XIV les utilisent pour préparer leurs batailles… Au XXe siècle, les architectes en généralisent l'usage. Elles sont devenues objets de musée depuis quelques années. Le livre est illustré de documents provenant des collections des Archives d'Architecture Moderne et de collections privées. Les maquettes présentées se rapportent principalement aux cent dernières années et évoquent aussi bien les aspects ludiques (souvenirs de voyages, jeux de construction, maisons de poupées…) que professionnels (maquettes de détails constructifs, d'expositions ou de promotion…) http://www.aam.be/fr/mainfr.html

Abstract

The architectural scale model has long had an essential role in the design process, creating a tangible, three-dimensional representation of the finished building, but it has not been explored as an artistic medium in its own right. The Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) began to fill in this gap in architectural scholarship in 2009, focusing on the history of the model with particular attention paid to the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Drawing on the museum's vast collection of models, comprised of more than 1,200 objects created by over four hundred architects from around the world, researchers created both this book and a corresponding exhibit set to open in May 2012. The Architectural Model covers a variety of topics, from the rise of specialized workshops after 1945 to the way in which more sophisticated machinery led to a "Miniature Boom" in the 1950s and '60s. Of special interest is the discussion of the how working models are used by professionals to develop and change their ideas.

Abstract

Models are generally understood as filtered interpretations of the environment, without the distraction of a multitude of various stimulations. In architecture they lean toward the utopian, showing how much better things could be: neither details nor decay can obfuscate the splendor of the new development on display. My own association with models has often taken advantage of the untouched and timeless quality they can offer. Parallel to those efforts, the materiality and transitory potential of paper and cardboard as such - materials we are all rather familiar with, in terms of makeshift projects and provisional usefulness- have not only moved from the margins of my studio to the center of my attention, but have also prompted a different approach. Looking at the details and the little pockets, edges, and coincidental collocations of the objects in front of me allowed me to emphasize their sculptural potential in an abstracted composition, instead of reading them as identifiable renderings of buildings. Taking this detour, this may well be my most photographic work to date, looking closely at someone else's models and process in a workshop which could be my own - but isn't. (Thomas Demand)
