Abstract
This essay discusses models. It examines what models are, the roles models perform and suggests various intentions that underlie their construction and use.
It discusses how models act as a conversational partner, and how they support various forms of conversation within the conversational activity of design.
Three distinctions are drawn through which to develop this discussion of models in an architectural context. An examination of these distinctions serves to nuance particular characteristics and roles of models, the modelling activity itself and those engaged in it.
