Models and Model Thinking
The seminar focuses on modeling as way of thinking in the arts, architecture and science, and explores rational qualities of spatial concepts, relations between the model, its viewer and author, and reflects on their producers and proponents. Participants will explore rationality and judgment of scale, historical models, politics of the material, paradox, meanings of abstraction and realism, and appropriate communication models. The space of the classroom itself will be transformed to become a model “for” and “of” the pedagogy. MIT ACT Fall 2012. With Gediminas Urbonas and Mariel Villeré
