The Brutalist Scale Model

The Brutalist Scale Model

Objects — Collected — 2024

NOTES

Purchased this model from the A24 Shop as soon as it was released after seeing The Brutalist. Few films have stayed with me the way The Brutalist has. Beyond its architecture, it’s a story about a creative trying to protect his vision from the influence of money, power, and the people who want to reshape it. That message resonated with me immediately. This 1:500 scale replica of the fictional Margaret Lee Van Buren Center for Creation and Activity was produced by A24 in collaboration with Craighill as a limited edition of 500. It sits on display in my home as a reminder of a film and a mindset that has stuck with me long after seeing it.
