Laser-cut cardboard, wafer-thin balsa wood, slices of blue foam and a million tiny pieces of etched acrylic: These are the common tools of the trade for architects when it comes to modeling<\/a>, and each material is only as crude or refined as the handiwork that goes into crafting it. The appeal of a great scale model is much the same as a great work of real-world architecture: The attention to detail, juxtaposition of materials and intricate craftsmanship on display can be truly inspirational to anyone with a discerning eye for design.<\/p>\n

Models vary hugely as a mode of architectural representation: Some are virtual carbon copies of their full-scale counterparts, while others are stylized, deconstructed or abstracted to emphasize specific concepts within complex projects. Therein lies the challenge with this quiz: Can you identify each building and its architect solely by viewing the following models? Grab a pen and paper, note down your answers and then click on the link at the foot of the page to discover how much of a modeling expert you really are \u2026<\/p>\n
