Eigens für die fürstlichen Architekturmodelle ließ Landgraf Carl Anfang des 18. Jahrhunderts das Modellhaus errichten, ein bis dato ungewöhnliches Gebäude, das eine vielbeachtete Sehenswürdigkeit seiner Zeit wurde. Darin befand sich auch das jegliche Maße sprengende Modell des berühmtesten Kasseler Kunstwerks, des Carlsbergs mit Herkules. Anhand neu erschlossener Pläne, Akten und zeitgenössischer Reisebeschreibungen wird hier erstmals die Geschichte dieses singulären Baus und seiner fast einhundertjährigen Sammlungsgeschichte nacherzählt und mit Blicken auf Berlin, Sankt Petersburg und Paris die anhaltende Bedeutung von Modellen nachgezeichnet.

Making physical models of complex geometric shapes and their multiple structural connections is a major challenge in the age of advanced digital technology and parametric design in architecture. This approach requires new modeling strategies, technology and methods which are covered in this book. Complex geometric forms generated using virtual media can be tested and validated only by means of physical models, which also make it possible to assess their practical application. The complexity of contemporary architectural design requires the mastery of new methods of producing scale models, which opens a new chapter in the field of modeling, and is the focus of this book. Along with the traditional methods that provide the basis for modeling, this book presents the principles of digital NURBS modeling, parametric modeling, digital modeling support, and model creation, complete with a number of tutorials, practical advice and examples found in architectural practice today. This book covers new strategies, technology and methods for creating advanced architectural scale models, including the principles of digital NURBS modeling, parametric modeling and model manufacturing. Offers numerous tutorials, examples and practical advice.

"Based on the recent discovery of his fully-preserved private archive - models, photos, letters, business files, and drawings - this book tells the story of Theodore Conrad (1910-1994), the most prominent and prolific architectural model-maker of the 20th century. Conrad's innovative models were instrumental in the design and realization of many icons of American Modernism - from the Rockefeller Center to Lever House and the Seagram Building. He revolutionized the production of architectural models and became a model-making entrepreneur in his own right. Yet, despite his success and the well-known buildings he helped to create, until now little has been known about Conrad's work and his impact on 20th century architectural history. With exclusive access to Conrad's archives, as well as those of model photographer Louis Checkman - both of which have lain undiscovered in private storage for decades - this book examines Conrad's work and legacy, accompanied by case studies of his major commissions and full-colour photographs of his works. Set against the backdrop of the surge in model-making in the 1950s and 1960s - which Jane Jacobs called 'The Miniature Boom' - it also explores how Conrad's models prompt broader scholarly questions about the nature of authorship in architecture, the importance of craftsmanship, and about the translation of architectural ideas between different media. The book ultimately presents an alternative history of American modern architecture, highlighting the often-overlooked influence of architectural models and their makers"--

This book offers an explanation of why scale models are important to the design process. Albert Smith takes the reader through the history and significance of models in architecture from the magic of the Egyptian scale model to the present day.Through this description of the relationship between architecture and the scale model, Smith demonstrates the most effective process between concept and 'machine', between the idea and the final building. The great value of this book is to reveal the nature of the scale model and to unlock the tremendous po

Modelle ermöglichen eine räumliche Vorstellung des Konzeptes. Das Entwerfen am Modell und das Präsentieren von Konzepten ist ein wichtiger Schritt in der Bildung eines Entwurfsbewusstseins. Themen: Abstraktionsgrade und Detailtiefe Modelltypologien Typische Arbeitsmittel und -techniken Materialität von Modellen Präsentationsmöglichkeiten Models make it possible to visualize an idea in three dimensions. Designing with models and presenting ideas is an important step in the development of a consciousness of design. Themes: Levels of abstraction and degrees of detail Model typologies Typical working tools and techniques Materiality of models Presentation possibilities
