In the Round, on the Flat Model Exhibition

Techniques for representing architecture and rendering form are perpetually evolving. At the same time, contemporary inclinations toward screen culture and mediating technologies have accelerated a shift in how we see and experience the physical world. Architecture is assimilated frequently through a screen rather than in situ, flattening the figurative space between generative potential and resolved construct. In the Round, On the Flat traces shifting approaches to architectural model making, from manually fabricated constructs to those conceived using new technology. The work of emerging and established contributors celebrates analog techniques and reveals change to the culture of architectural representation in studies that acknowledge a digitally immersed society in which perception is often mediated.
