Shaping Space – Architectural Models Revealed will open in the new main gallery at the Building Centre in September 2021.

This autumn will see the launch of a major exhibition celebrating the role of the architectural model in shaping the spaces we live in. A collaboration between the V&A and the Building Centre, Shaping Space – Architectural Models Revealed will present the world in miniature; a collection of historical and contemporary models that reveal the evolution of architecture from the first maquette made as a tool for thinking, to a presentation model – a scaled down replica of an architectural intention saying; ‘here I am’.
