Synopsis

”A house is a built idea. A chair is a manufactured idea. But the model is the idea”, write the architects Mårten Claesson, Eero Koivisto and Ola Rune. In this book the models made by Claesson Koivisto Rune (CKR) are photographed and redesigned by Gabor Palotai. In Gabor Palotai’s photography, the models display visions, and as such become spectral.
