Doing maquettes as metadesign: an ex-ante research approach that Instructs architecture
This contribution explores the role of physical models, specifically “dioramas,” in contemporary architectural practice amidst the dominance of digital tools like CAD software and 3D modelling. The paper argues for a shift in perception of maquettes from mere representational devices to instruments of instruction and research, forming the basis for a concept termed “Research-by-Model-Design” or Metadesign. The origins and interpretations of Metadesign are discussed, emphasizing its potential for generating numerous project possibilities. The contribution delves into the significance of the physical model as a palpable system of investigation, challenging the limitations of digital representations. Additionally, the study highlights the value of unfinished models and models of unbuilt architecture in architectural discourse. Models are seen as tools that offer real experiences in the design process, contributing to the continuum between project conception, development, and realization.
