It provides a comprehensive historical context and theoretical framework for theatre scholars, scenographers, artists and architects interested in the model's reality-producing capacity and its recent emergence in contemporary art practice and exhibition. For the undergraduate student, it provides a historical survey of the model, and to the postgraduate student, it opens up a new methodological approach. Introducing a typology of the scale model  beyond the iterative and the representative model, the authors identify the autonomous model as a provocative construction between past and present, idea and reality that  challenges and redefines the relationship between object, viewer and environment.
