The Lloyd's Building in London, constructed in the early 1980s, is one of the most important building projects of the late modern era. Based on Richard Rogers + Partners' visionary design, it transformed ideas of the megastructure and the intelligent environment into built reality. Mock-ups, or full-size models, played a crucial role in the design process of the building because they enabled tests and refinements of novel constructions, thereby minimizing the risks of such an ambitious project. Lloyd's 1 : 1 reconstructs working methods from the archives of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, Josef Gartner and Arup to show how mock-ups were used as research and planning instruments and to highlight their relevance for past and future building culture.
