  8. Supermodels: an unmissable showcase of architectural super models in London’s King’s Cross

    Bringing architectural models – and ideas – alive through movement, sound, scent and film, the free Supermodels exhibition opens to the public on Friday 25 November 2022 at Regent Quarter, King’s Cross London N1.In the eerie setting of a building site awaiting refurbishment, multidisciplinary design and architecture studio Piercy&Company presents a performance of animated models of their buildings and projects – reconnecting our digital and physical worlds through a childlike sense of wonder and delight as their amazing models spring into life.Resonating with the mysterious allure of miniature objects with lives of their own – think doll’s houses, cuckoo clocks and model railways – Supermodels employs mechanical automata, projection mapping, scent and lighting to create a new, more engaging way of communicating architectural concepts.Exploring exciting new possibilities for an age-old form of architectural communication, Supermodels distils the studio’s 20 years of research into the sensory and haptic dimensions of architecture. Each model encapsulates the essence of Piercy&Company‘s design approach to building typologies spanning from commercial developments to churches.The models were handmade by Piercy&Company’s architecture team to explore and test experiential aspects of architecture including the spatial, the tectonic and the tactile.The exhibition runs until Sunday 11 December 2022.ListingDatesFriday 25 November until Sunday 11 DecemberOpening Hours12pm-7pm Monday to Friday12pm-5pm Saturday and Sundayor by appointment supermodels@piercyandco.com
