Langbeschreibung
Are You a Model?explores the model as architectural tool and practice. The volume approaches architectural models not as categorical objects but through questions such as: What determines a model's functions and agencies? When in the design process does it unfold its power and when has it served its purpose? Based on nine overarching questions, the book brings together interdisciplinary voices from architecture, art history as well as architectural and curatorial practice, and software engineering. 31 contributions interweave perspectives from various disciplines and geographies, and reveal surprising affinities rather than seeking conclusive answers. Models are thus not classified according to time of origin, genre, or material, but rather understood as an epistemologically diverse practice.
Anna-Maria Meister is an architect, historian, and professor of architecture theory at KIT Karlsruhe, as well as co-director of the saai archive and leader of the Lise Meitner Research Group at the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz (KHI) - Max Planck Institute. Meister works at the intersection of the histories of architecture, science, and technology, focusing on the interdependencies of processes of design with the design of processes with an emphasis on their political, social, and aesthetic consequences. She is co-curator of the international research project "Radical Pedagogies" and co-editor of the book of the same name (2022).
