The architectural model exists in varying ontological states—ranging from a scaled abstraction to a photographed image, and ultimately, a relic. It plays a dynamic role in architectural practice, bridging the gap between conceptualization and physical reality. Its persistence across different mediums highlights its significance not only as a tool for design but also as a cultural artifact. The model provides a rich lens through which we can explore the relationship between imagination, materiality, and representation, shedding light on how architecture evolves through time and interpretation.
