建筑师如何想象、看到和定义一个本应成为建筑的遥远物体？它是如何变得可知的、真实的？为了回答这些问题，我跟随建筑师制作模型，并以不同的速度放大和缩小模型。缩放不是一个逻辑的、线性的过程，用来产生一个逐渐变得更可知的新对象，从抽象上升到具体，而是一种多才多艺的节奏，依赖于涌动、跳跃和回报。通过关注最频繁重复的动作，如“扩大规模”、“跳跃规模”、“缩小规模”，并描述它们的认知含义，我描绘了建筑师如何参与到与材料和形状的全面对话中。他们的物质对话考虑了处置、阻力、稳定性和其他随规模成比例变化的属性。在Scaling项目中，建筑的两种不同状态被同时实现和维持：一种是“不那么知名”、抽象和全面的状态；另一种是“更知名”、具体和详细的状态。在小型和大型模型之间多次上下过渡后，建筑出现，变得可见，材料和真实。这些规模试验使这座建筑成为现实。
How do architects imagine, see and define a distant object that is meant to become a building? How does it become knowable, real? To answer these questions, I follow architects as they fabricate models and scale them up and down at different rates of speed. Instead of being a logical, linear procedure for generating a new object that becomes progressively more knowable, ascending from the abstract to the concrete, scaling is a versatile rhythm, relying on surges, ‘jumps’ and returns. By focusing on the most frequently repeated moves such as ‘scaling up’, ‘jumping the scale’, ‘scaling down’, and describing their cognitive implications, I depict how architects involve themselves in a comprehensive dialogue with materials and shapes. Their material dialogue takes into account dispositions, resistance, stability and other properties that change proportionally with scale. In the scaling venture, two alternative states of the building are simultaneously achieved and maintained: a state of being ‘less-known’, abstract and comprehensive; and a state of being ‘more-known’, concrete and detailed. After multiple up and down transitions between small- and large-scale models, the building emerges, becomes visible, material and real. These scaling trials bring the building into existence.
