Christian Spencer is an architectural model maker that specialise in the contemporary, they create one off unique pieces of art for firms, companies and individuals. He has been creating models for 20 years now and aspires to create models that create an abstract perception of a design. He hates creating normal standard pieces of art and believes that they are dull and boring. His take on design is far more abstract that precision and calculation. He believes that creating an abstract model is far more provocative and influential than a normal “standard” mode yet has the core and essential elements to really explain what you are trying to develop. He believes it is a waste of his time to create something that is standard and not worth the money people are paying.
His models are unlike anything I have seen when I think of a landscape, he created a model in all black polish and left one single element as an orange light, which really adds emphasis on it. It reminds me of visualisations that I have created in the past when attempting to highlight an element I would make everything else black and white.
Another project he showed was called ‘Made in Croydon’ for Hawkins Browns civil and public realm project. This model is like a piece of art you would hang in a gallery. It’s so abstract with the materials and looks like it can be worn on a catwalk.
However as beautiful as these clearly are i think that a basic and “standard model” is just as important when illustrating the finer details. A model by Christian is a great way at the beginning stages but as a fully developed design it lacks the finer details that people want to see such as investors or clients.
