These architectural models of individual examples from the modernist canon of the twentieth century were created by groups of students from the University of Manchester School of Architecture between 1991 and 1998 and are preserved in the archive of the B.15 Modelmaking Workshop.

They were created as coursework submissions for a third year undergraduate architectural history course to demonstrate the students’ understanding of the buildings which were used as case studies during Eamonn Canniffe’s lectures.

Their survival for over three decades is a testament to the modelmaking skills of the students and to the training and help they received in the B.15 Worksop.
