Little Big Houses quides us through the fascinating material and miniature world of architectural scale models. The over 150 projects featured in the book are great architecture in miniature. The carefully crafted scale models of these landmark works of both Finnish and international 20th century architecture tell not only of the importance of the schemes themselves but also of the rich tradition of craftsmanship. Parallel to contemporary computer modelling, scale models have an important role in architectural design. This can be seen, for instance, in the scale models of modernist masterpieces in house design built by architecture students in Tokyo and Helsinki featured in the book along with the work of Jari Jetsonen.
