Atlas of Interiors is a site committed to celebrating the astonishingly high levels of consideration and craftsmanship at play in the development of the maquette: a French word for scale model, sometimes referred to by the Italian names plastico or modello. An equivalent term, “Bozzetto”, derives from the Italian word meaning “sketch”, but we’ll call them “Masterpieces In Miniature.”
