Project description

This research project explores the status and meaning of the architectural model within the realm of the visual arts (1970-2000). The aim is to define its modus operandi as a type of sculpture and to describe its complex position within the inter-related yet fundamentally shifting domains of art and architecture in the last three decades of the twentieth century.
