Physical Value
This report explores the importance of physical models in architecture and offers strategies for preserving contemporary model-making through digital archives. By examining current archival practices, it provides guidance for architects and model-makers to document and safeguard models. The report envisions combining photography and data collection to preserve models as historical artifacts and active design elements. Insights from fieldwork in Frankfurt, Copenhagen, and London, along with input from key institutions and practices, contribute to an ongoing effort to create a reliable and accessible model preservation framework in the digital age.
