In light of current developments in modelling, and with the aim of
reinvigorating debates around the potentiality of the architectural
model - its philosophies, technologies and futures - this issue of
AD examines how the model has developed to become an immersive
worldbuilding machine. Worldbuilding is the creation of imaginary
worlds through forms of cultural production. Although this
discourse began with an analysis of imaginary places constructed in
works of literature, it has evolved to encompass worlds from fields
such as cinema, games, design, landscape, urbanism and
architecture. Worldbuilding differs from the notion of worldmaking,
which deals with how speculative thinking can influence the
construction of the phenomenal world. As architects postulate
ever-increasingly complex world models from which to draw
inspiration and inform their practice, questions of scale,
representation and collaboration emerge. Discussed through a range
of articles from acclaimed international contributors in the fields
of both architecture and media studies, this issue explores how the
architectural model is situated between concepts of worldbuilding
and worldmaking - in the creative space of worldmodelling.
