Could the advent of building information modelling (BIM) see the architect's status return to that of his medieval counterpart, the master builder? Guest‐editor Richard Garber examines the work of Filippo Brunelleschi, who did the seemingly impossible in early 15th‐century Florence by spanning the massive opening of the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore, the city's cathedral, through an adept use of physical models.
