Abstract
A review of Matthew Wells, Modelling the Metropolis: The Architectural Model in Victorian London, Zurich: gta Verlag, 2023, 188 pages, 84 illus. ISBN 9783856764357. Wells offers a layered reading of the private and public dimensions of the architectural model’s life in Victorian London, exploring the spaces and the ways in which models were manufactured, displayed, and perceived from the courtroom to the university and from the museum to the workshop. Through vast archival research, Modelling the Metropolis suggests an alternative reading of London’s built environment, constituencies, and authorships.
