Abstract

Through a case study of the professionally made architectural model in Britain between the late 1960s and the early1990s, this article draws from archaeologist Ian Hodder’s concept of entanglement and argues that the relationship between the architect, the architectural model, and the modelmaker exists as an entangled web of shifting distributions of power governed by asymmetric tensions and mutual dependencies. In tracing the changing relationship dynamics that led to a dramatic broadening of the model’s visual styles to incorporate both realism and creative abstraction during this period, this article describes the professionally made architectural model as the locus of an intricate web of interconnected dependencies in which the model, the modelmaker, and the architect reap both the positive and negative consequences of their increasingly fraught entrapment. Demonstrating how a study of their entanglement reveals the complexities that exist within the human-object interactions that surround them, this article highlights the mutual dependencies that bind the model, the maker, and the architect together.

摘要

本文通过对 1960 年代末至 90 年代初英国专业制作的建筑模型的案例研究，借鉴考古学家伊恩霍德的纠缠概念，认为建筑师、建筑模型和模型制作者之间的关系以纠缠的形式存在。由不对称的紧张局势和相互依存支配的权力分布不断变化的网络。在追踪导致模型视觉风格在此期间显着拓宽以结合现实主义和创造性抽象的不断变化的关系动态时，本文将专业制作的建筑模型描述为一个复杂的相互关联的网络的轨迹，其中模型，模型制作者，建筑师从他们越来越令人担忧的陷阱中收获了积极和消极的后果。本文展示了对它们的纠缠的研究如何揭示围绕它们的人与对象交互中存在的复杂性，本文重点介绍了将模型、制造商和架构师联系在一起的相互依赖关系。
