Call for abstracts OASE 126 Thinking through Models

Justin Agyin, Jantje Engels, Benjamin Groothuijse, Sereh Mandias en Mieke Vink, eds.

OASE is looking for reflective contributions that discuss how physical models function as part of a thinking or design processes. Contributions include textual or visual reflections on physical scale models or model-driven processes in architecture, urban planning or landscape architecture. We are specifically looking for historical and contemporary examples that take concrete projects as their starting point, but in their reflections extend beyond the project itself and contribute to both architecture practice and the thinking within and about architecture. 

We invite authors to submit an abstract of up to 300 words, supported by at least one image, as a proposal for an article. Because models are at the heart of this issue of OASE, we are interested in contributions that are significantly supported by images. Abstracts should be submitted no later than January 18, 2026 by filling out the form on extracto.invitado.nl/submission/cfa-oase126.
