Model behaviour

Model1

Yesterday we were talking about the Stirling Prize, the shortlist, who won and the fact you had all these famous architects in one building at the same time.

This got us thinking about those little plastic people found in architects models and thought it might be interesting to produce a set of miniature famous architects in this way. We thought it would be funny to have a miniature David Adjaye or a miniature Zaha Hadid standing talking to each other in a model made by Foster and Partners.

As well as a miniature set of figures of great architects from the past, for example: Sir Christopher Wren, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Walter Gropius and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Perhaps this idea could be taken in the opposite direction?

The excellent RADFORD WALLIS created ‘Bob’ as part of a visual identity to promote 16 Palace Street, a premium office space in Victoria, SW1. Perhaps life-sized models of these famous architects would make a great addition to an exhibition?

If anyone knows of a good model maker, please drop us a line. Thanks.
