Models are an essential component of the architect's design process. As tools of translation, models assist the exploration of the possible and illustrate the actual. While models have traditionally served as representational and structural studies, they are increasingly being used to suggest and solve new spatial and structural configurations. Models, the eleventh volume of 306090, explores the role of the architectural model today in relation to ideas, diagrams, techniques, and materials. Models includes contributions from engineers, scientists, poets, painters, photographers, historians, urbanists, and architects both young and experienced.

Models is supported by the Illinois Institute of Technology College of Architecture, the Princeton University School of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong Faculty of Architecture, and the generous sponsorship of Elise Jaffe + Jeffrey Brown.
