Developing ways to see the quality and contemporary role of vanishing system-based modern architecture. Photographs and scale models are images of buildings, but at the same time, it is my interpretation of it. At the heart of scale model studies is the building's structure, typically made of concrete or steel. I imagine that, by following the frame, the abstract ideas become more visible, while anchored to present-day questions surrounding demolition and overconsumption of materials.
