After a period of decline, the architectural model gained new prominence when it became a popular tool for design education and practice in the early twentieth century. This revival is usually associated with the turn towards objectivity and the search for expressive means to communicate ideas in three dimensions—but how was the model transformed in the age of its(...)

Description:
Series 2, Witte Arts Center, Green Bay, Wisconsin, 2000 – 2002, documents the development of a project (unrealized) by Office d’A in response to a real estate brief for a floor of artists’ studios supported by a street level gallery in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The design for the Witte Arts Center addresses functional architectural concerns like light and circulation through elements such as suspended skylights and an open-air staircase. For the staircase in particular, corbelled brick patterning around the interior stairs creates a distortion of the building’s façade nicknamed “the smile.” The series consists of sketches, drawings and reprographic copies from the pre-design to design development phases of the project, a model, and photographic materials. Textual records in the series include correspondence, meeting notes and vendor catalogues. Digital material consists of CAD drawings, 3D models and renderings, images of the model and drawings, correspondence and other documents.
