Models-Off Site Exhibition will be open for 2 days only from March 7th-8th
The ½” =1’-0” scale model has been an integral part of our design process since we started our practice 8 years ago. The scale of the model allows us to look “into” the model rather than “over” it. Looking in is like finding and the act of finding is important for design. Our primary goal of model-making is not to generate form, but to generate space. The ½” =1’-0” scale model allows us to test multiple spatial qualities: layout and section, material palette, assembly, details, and light. Testing the relationship of how these elements come together in the model allows us to make decisions. Sometimes things go well together, sometimes we see different elements require more tension. The models in Models Off-Site are a mix of in-progress models from our office, models returned from exhibitions, and models from completed projects that have been in storage. We see this two-day exhibition as an opportunity to bring models from the last 8 years of our practice together, unboxed, and in one space.
