Architectural Models is a plea in behalf of architectural scale model construction and the first comprehensive exploration of this subject. This volume, conceived as a reference book, extensively presents works by renowned scale model studios in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In this way, the transformation of a field rich in tradition in the CAD age is informatively sketched and information on its modern possibilities presented. It includes an introductory essay on the significance of the century-old craft of model-building in the context of European architecture from the Renaissance to the present day.
