The achievement of <i>The Model as Performance</i> is to shift thinking on the spatial model from representational concerns (the resemblance of the model to what it copies or projects) to interactional concerns (how models and our performative relations with them actively participate in what Thea and Lawrence call the ‘co-construction’ of reality)...But this is not just an academic book. Its nuanced, rigorous widening of the category of the model will no doubt be explored in studio pedagogy and studio practice.

U-Mag

The Model as Performance investigates the history and development of the scale model from the Renaissance to the present. Employing a scenographic perspective and a performative paradigm, it explores what the model can do and how it is used in theatre and architecture. The volume provides a comprehensive historical context and theoretical framework for theatre scholars, scenographers, artists and architects interested in the model’s reality-producing capacity and its recent emergence in contemporary art practice and exhibition. Introducing a typology of the scale model beyond the iterative and the representative model, the authors identify the autonomous model as a provocative construction between past and present, idea and reality, that challenges and redefines the relationship between object, viewer and environment. The Model as Performance was shortlisted for the best Performance Design & Scenography Publication Award at the Prague Quadrennial (PQ) 2019.

This book examines the history and development of the physical scale model in theatre and architecture from the Renaissance to the present and argues the model’s capacity to stage space and enable performance.
Les mer
Provides a survey of the evolution of the scale model from the Renaissance through to modernism, postmodernism and the present in theatre and architecture to show what the model can do and how it is used

The series reflects the recent growth of scenographic practices and the expansion from theatre/stage design to a wider notion of scenography as a spatial practice. It incorporates performance design practices in theatre, performance, live art, architecture, visual communication and interactive design. Each volume offers an accessible overview of design both for and as performance, and combines theoretical frames with a set of stimulating examples of scenography that showcase the interdisciplinary reach of contemporary performance design. The series will be of interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance, as well as art, architecture, design and visual communication.
