Assembling the Ineffable in Kurt Schwitters’ Architectural Models
… Kurt Schwitters, developed a method of creating models of architecture using found objects based upon his Merz approach to art. While many leading architects joined the Arbeitsrat für Kunst and Bruno Taut's Gläserne Kette at the end of World War I to speculate upon what to build for the new …

Metaphor in the Making: Comparative methods of representation in physical architectural models.
… understand concepts in terms of other concepts. Architectural representation is a metaphor that stands in place of the design being represented. This metaphor allows us to structure our thinking around something tangible while thinking about something that is less tangible. This investigation …

Ceramic Architectural Models from the Madaba Plains Region: A Selected Art Historical Analysis
<p>Problem</p> <p>Architectural models can be described as small, ceramic, house-shaped structures that come in an often bewildering array of shapes and sizes. They appear all over the ancient Near East, and although evidence shows that they were created as early as the Neolithic period, they seem …

Architectural Models for Lower Pennsylvanian Strata in Dickenson/Wise County, Southwest Virginia: A Reservior Case Study
… a hierarchy of bounding discontinuities and architectural elements. Discontinuities are both erosional (unconformable) and depositional (condensed) and are 3rd-order (~ 2.5 Ma) and 4th-order (~ 400 k.y.) in origin. Architectural elements are bound by 4th-order discontinuities and consist of …

Automated support for experimental approaches in daylighting performances assessment
… of this machine is to conduct shadow studies on architectural models. Using the tilt and rotation axis concurrently, a model can be rotated through a path that emulates the sun throughout the course of a day. The second use of the machine is to measure the solar flux emitted from and transmitted …

Gentrifying geriatrics : challenging design paradigms for the aged and aging
… With the exception of in home care, all architectural models for elderly care have been driven by a paradigm of 'aging as disease' which, through isolation and differentiation, sets up homogenous 'enclaves' for the elderly. This has attributed to the stigmatization associated with the …

Architectural Storywork as a discursive design practice: on self-determined Indigeneity, architectural autonomy, and the transmission of knowledge through architectural discourses in Bali, Indonesia
… in rural Bali, Indonesia. This is timely, as architectural scholars call on the discipline to develop new decolonial practices and discursive design cultures that aim to reinstate difference, value alterity, and engage with pluriversal narratives; unsettling the theoretical and practical …
