It provides a comprehensive historical context and theoretical framework for theatre scholars, scenographers, artists and architects interested in the model's reality-producing capacity and its recent emergence in contemporary art practice and exhibition. For the undergraduate student, it provides a historical survey of the model, and to the postgraduate student, it opens up a new methodological approach. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroducing a typology of the scale model  beyond the iterative and the representative model, the authors identify the autonomous model as a provocative construction between past and present, idea and reality that  challenges and redefines the relationship between object, viewer and environment. Case studies include Brunelleschi's dome models and Bel Geddes' \u003ci\u003eFuturama\u003c\/i\u003e, Mies van der Rohe's mock ups and Zumthor's atmospheric models, Anna Viebrock's life size boxes  and Herzog \u0026amp; de Meuron's miniature styrofoam exhibits.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164914663664,"sku":"9781474271394","price":80.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781474271394_p0.jpg?v=1763604781","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781474271394","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
