Abstract

One way to treat the broad range of types and examples of the architectural model is to classify its manifestations in terms of their use in relation to the architectural profession, in which they sit inside, or outside: a model is inside the profession if it contributes towards the realisation of an architectural project. Identifying a model within this framework adds to an understanding of the model’s purpose, technique, and audience, among other aspects, and stresses the well-established protocols that govern models in the profession. This paper analyses, in particular, Alex Selenitsch’s models for two projects that are at the profession’s boundary, and finds that their exceptional location is primarily informed by their purpose as architectural critique. This analysis has implications, for architecture and its discourse, because these models expand the role of the modelmaker as critic and, consequently, the roles of models in the profession.

摘要

处理建筑模型的广泛类型和示例的一种方法是根据它们与建筑行业相关的用途对其表现进行分类，它们位于内部还是外部：如果模型有贡献，则属于该行业以实现建筑项目。在此框架内识别模型有助于了解模型的目的、技术和受众等方面，并强调管理行业模型的完善协议。本文特别分析了 Alex Selenitsch 的两个处于行业边界的项目的模型，并发现它们的特殊位置主要取决于它们作为建筑评论的目的。这种分析对建筑及其话语有影响，
