THE ECOLOGY OF THE ARCHITECTURAL MODEL - NICK D...

Models are a designer's currency. They are so common in the exchange and development of ideas
as to feature without attention and are used often without question. Architectural practice and
its history are paralleled by a history of models  as varied in form as the buildings and ideas
that they represent. For architectural educators models are not only as near to a realised
building as one can get but for their students they are the means by which architecture itself
its processes  concepts  strategies and tactics are learned. Understanding the role played by
an educational tool is important and a tool implies both a user and an environment in which to
use it. Little has been said about the role the environment plays in the functioning of models
in the learning process. This book describes the environment of architectural models in an
educational context  adopting an ecological approach.
