Wiscombe, Tom

A Specific Theory of Models: The Posthuman Beauty of Weird Scales, Snowglobes and Supercomponents - Wiley 2019 - Vol 89, Issue 5, 2019 : (80-89 p.)

Los Angeles‐based architect Tom Wiscombe describes some of the methods his internationally renowned practice uses to create architecture. He introduces us to his infatuation with toys and models, and his notions of ‘model ontology’ and the strange morphology of model parts, their boxes and diverse scales and jointing that inform his studio's architectural lexicon.
