For the Shoreditch Design Triangle 2021, we are showcasing a collection of diverse models of our regular professional clients as well as local architects, celebrating the concept of thinking-through-making. This exhibition will continue in our EAST showroom until the 17th of October.
Architectural model making, whereby the designer constructs in miniature their vision is as old as the discipline itself. It is an essential creative step in the building process, a means for the architect to explore their concept in a three-dimensional fashion before a project is built.
Though they are rarely meant as a finished product in themselves, these models can be works of art. As they are often part of the process rather than the end-goal, they are rarely available for public viewing and spend most of their time sitting on shelves in storage or tucked away in a corner of the office. Don’t miss this opportunity to see some fascinating miniature prototypes from the architectural design process.
