Starting From... The Bubble
Starting From... The Bubble
Actions:
Description:
The bubble is a wonder of surface tension. In its architectural interpretation, the bubble can be understood as a feat of engineering or as a metaphor for an enclosed hermetic environment. As such, the bubble emerges, in the architect Cedric Price’s words, “in any shape or any size” as a powerful symbol of the future, or becomes synonymous with the condition of isolation(...)

Description:
Architectural engagement with colour involves its physical materiality as well as its atmospheric and psychological aspects. This hall-case display features photographs, renderings, and colour tools from the CCA collection that represent, communicate, and imagine colour for architecture—with a particular emphasis on the hue of pink. Pink is a chromatic anomaly. As a(...)

Description:
Architecture, though constrained by boundaries of function and structure, is always ultimately an act of the imagination. Potential Architecture: Construction Toys from the CCA Collection explores twenty-one construction toys, made in the hundred years from 1850 to 1950, that were designed to challenge a child’s creativity. The toys illustrate how children learn to invent(...)
