Architectural scale model, digital graphics
Scale models of illegal construction represent the visually and spatially intrusive contemporary vernacular architecture in Croatia. Constrained by the size of the lots, the scale models expand uncontrollably in height and ultimately invade the other houses’ unoccupied vertical space with terraces and balconies, which are sometimes built in front of other people’s windows. Although the models resemble children’s toys, they refer to the serious problem of permanent changes in the landscape and the recent process of the subsequent legalization of illegally built buildings.
