(More customer reviews)As long as there have been architects, they have been using models to help design buildings, sell projects and instruct builders. "Modeling Messages" is a comprehensive study of the many facets architectural model making. Karen Moon starts by examing the history of the architectural model from the Renaissance to the early Twenty First Century. She moves on to such varied topics as the relationship between architect and model maker, architectural model as fine art and the changing role of high technology in the modeling process.
If you are looking for a text book on how to build architectural models, this book is not for you. However, if you want to learn more about the model builder's craft and see some beautifully photographed models, this book is a must purchase. "Modeling Messages" is a high quality art book and it is one of those books that I will be reading for pleasure for many years to come. Highly recommended.
