No More No Less (Chicago) Model

No More No Less is an ongoing project in which the architects of the firm Pezo Von Ellricshausen insert a museum at a 1:10 scale into an exhibition space. Inside the rooms of the miniature museum are representations of the studio’s work. The positioning of an architectural model within a “mother-model” generates a double reduction that speaks to a paradox inherent to architecture: the unavoidable need to exhibit architecture as a representation of an absent object and architecture itself as the representation of yet another thing, such as an idea, a value, or a technique.
