Models of Perfection
Many years ago, an architecture student I knew was asked to build a model. It took him a long time, a very long time, especially when you consider it in terms of student time—semester-specific, nomadic and sleep-challenged as it seems—but he stuck at it devotedly, driven by a kind of specificity and focus that struck me at the time as nothing short of magical. Every component was doggedly researched, lovingly handled, and implemented with extraordinary finesse: from air-light strips of balsa wood to torqued metal and molded plastic, each and every bit of this thing was just superbly engineered, and in the end, the resulting thing itself was, in a word, perfect.
