Are You a Model? erkundet das Modell als architektonisches Werkzeug und Praxis. Der Band betrachtet Architekturmodelle nicht in starren Kategorien, sondern nähert sich ihnen durch Fragen wie: Was bestimmt die Funktionen und Wirkungskräfte eines Modells? Wann im Entwurfsprozess entfaltet es seine Kraft und wann hat es seinen Zweck erfüllt? Ausgehend von neun übergreifenden Fragen vereint dieses Buch interdisziplinäre Stimmen aus Architektur, Kunstgeschichte sowie architektonischer und kuratorischer Praxis und Software Engineering. 31 Beiträge verflechten Perspektiven aus verschiedenen Regionen und Disziplinen, und suchen dabei nicht nach abschließenden Antworten, sondern offenbaren überraschende Gemeinsamkeiten. Modelle werden hier somit nicht nach Entstehungszeit, Genre oder Material klassifiziert, sondern als epistemologisch vielfältige Praxis verstanden.

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.
