Sub-series
Drawings and scripts
AP165.S7.SS1
Description:
The Drawings and scripts sub-series, 1980 – 2000, consists of 2538 digital files (2 GB) that document Hoberman’s work in AutoCAD to create his patented transformable designs. The majority of records are AutoCAD drawing files and AutoLISP scripts, dating from the mid to late 1990s. Drawings in the sub-series comprise a variety of Hoberman’s expanding installations, toy products and architectural structures, as well as a series of industrial patents and production drawings that detail the manufacturing and assembly of parts. AutoLISP scripts included in the sub-series were written and used by Hoberman for customized command within the AutoCAD environment as the in-program language. These scripts allowed Hoberman to solve the complex mathematical and geometrical calculations necessary to control the design and engineering of each component of his structures. Notable projects include: Iris Dome at Expo 2000 World's Fair, Hanover (2000); Expanding Hypar at California Science Center, Los Angeles (1998); Expanding Helicoid at Inventor's Hall of Fame, Akron (1998); Expanding Fabric Dome at Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (1997); Iris Dome at Museum of Modern Art, New York (1994); Geodesic Sphere at Technorama der Shweiz, Winterthur (1993); and Expanding Sphere at Liberty Science Center, Jersey City (1991).
