A 1964 model by US modelmaker Raymond Lester. It is proving much harder to trace the histories of American modelmakers for my current research as sadly they have been far less well-documented than in Britain. There's still a book in all this though!

A 1945 American advert highlighting the symbolic role of models in the postwar era, instantly conveying ideas of modernity, comfort, and of course that we are talking about architecture. So many great ads like this turning up in my research!

Surely the most iconic association of the architectural model and the architect - the fictional Howard Roark in The Fountainhead, played by Garry Cooper. Need to instantly identify someone as an architect? Stick them next to an architectural model!

Writing about postwar modelmakers in New York and my own model of Lever House that I made 11 years ago is acting as a bit of a muse...
