Particular focus has been given to the relationship between the production and use of architectural models and the development of the professional identity of ‘The Architect’ in nineteenth-and early twentieth-century Britain.  \nThe attitude of architects towards models in the nineteenth century has been neglected in the study of architectural and design history. Instead historians have focused on other forms of architectural production. Any analysis as there has been of model collections, including that of the V&A, has concentrated on the history of acquisitions and the individuals involved. The circumstances of model production, the work of the model-maker, and the use of models by architects in education, design, and construction have largely been ignored. In addition, by drawing on a variety of sociological theories and studies, the thesis explores architectural practice as a socially constructed concept and examines the role that architectural models played in the development of professional identity during the period.  \nAlongside comparative material from a variety of international, national, and local institutions, the collection of models held by the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) and Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) has been the core focus of research for the thesis. The temporal boundaries of the project are established by the history of models within these two institutions: 1834 marks the founding of the RIBA, whilst 1916 is the year in which the itinerant collections ofthe Architectural Museum were reabsorbed into the V&A before being dispersed and deaccessioned.  \nAcross six chapters the thesis explores how architects used and thought about models at each stage of their professional lives from education to design, from public authority to private commissions, from temporary exhibitions to permanent displays. A wide variety of material from key public and private collections –  \ncombined with evidence from print culture within and without historic architectural communities – offers a nuanced understanding of the role and use of the model in the nineteenth and early-twentieth century. Through this material and the application of the conceptual frameworks used by both architectural and design historians, the thesis provides a new understanding of the nineteenth century by establishing the conception, production, and use of models as a key aspect of architecture and society in the period.  \nTable of Contents  \nAbstract 5  \n________________________________________________________  \nTable of Contents_________________________________________________ 7  \nList of illustrations _______________________________________________ 11  \nAcknowledgements_______________________________________________ 17  \nAuthor's Declaration _____________________________________________ 21  \nIntroduction____________________________________________________ 23  \nIntroduction ________________________________________________________25  \nContemporary scholarship on the architectural model_________________________ 31  \nHistoriography ____________________________________________________","cbCaihw14WG83W8f","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihw14WG83W8f","pdf",2177438,438,"English","# Table of Contents\n## List of illustrations\n## Acknowledgements\n## Author's Declaration\n## Introduction\n## Contemporary scholarship on the architectural model\n## Historiography\n## Primary Research Sources and Methodology\n## Professionalism\n## Chapter Structure\n## Chapter 1 : Architectural models and education\n## Chapter 2 : Architectural models in the public sphere\n## Chapter 3: Experience, form, and feeling\n## Chapter 4 : Clients, Commissions, and Model-Makers","[{\"question\":\"What period does the thesis cover and why are those dates chosen?\",\"answer\":\"The project spans 1834 to 1916. 1834 marks the founding of the RIBA, while 1916 is when the itinerant collections of the Architectural Museum were reabsorbed into the V\\u0026A before later dispersal and deaccessioning.\"},{\"question\":\"Which institutions are central to the research on architectural models?\",\"answer\":\"The core research focus is on model collections held by the Victoria \\u0026 Albert Museum (V\\u0026A) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), supported by comparative materials from international, national, and local institutions.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the thesis connect architectural models to professional identity?\",\"answer\":\"It analyses the relationship between the production and use of architectural models and how architects developed professional identity, treating architectural practice as a socially constructed concept informed by sociological frameworks.\"}]","Architectural models and the professional practice of the architect, 1834-1916 | PDF",1104]
