Description:
This directory chiefly contains the STL files for the 3D models of the A2 Cockpit and Soundbarrier displayed by ONL at the exhibition. There are also a number of files with the extension .zdb, which sliced build files related to the 3DS ZPrinter (3D printer). These may be related to or redundant of the existing STL files. Original directory name: "85 3d printer". Most common file formats: STL (Standard Tessellation Language) Binary, 3DM, 3D Studio, RAR Archive.

Project
AP207.S1.1971.PR02
Description:
This project series documents five of the fifteen proposals submitted by Pettena for the Trigon competition in Graz, Austria, in 1971. The proposals documented in this project series are the following: Proposal n° 7 "Imprisonment" and "Architectural project #2 (Planes crossing)"; Proposal n° 11 "Instantaneous birth"; Proposal n° 12 "Conservazione"; Proposal n° 13 "Sedie e tavolo d’erba"; and Proposal n° 14 "Grass Architecture" I, II, and III. Pettena won the first prize for both his proposal "Imprisonment" and "Architectural Project #2" (Proposal n° 7) and for "Grass Architecture" I and II (Proposal n° 14). In these proposals, Pettena "questioned the temporal dimension of architecture as well as its relationship with nature." [1] The proposal "Grass Architecture" consists of shapes of grass rising from the ground, creating a perishable form of architecture coming from within and becoming part of the territory. The "Imprisonment" and "Architectural Project #2" proposals are a variation of Pettena's previous performance project "Cancellazione di uno stato" in 1970. These proposals consist of "trails of passing airplanes crisscrossing? the sky, creating the outlines of a grid of clouds. Here, the legacy of the grid in modern architecture is rendered formless, as if “naturalized” by the evaporation of the clouds, subject to chance and the freely drifting trails left by the airplanes." [2] The project series contains presentation drawings (five original drawings, seventeen reprographic copies, and four photographic reproductions), for Pettena's proposals "Imprisonment" and "Architectural project #2 (Planes crossing)", "Instantaneous birth", "Conservazione", "Sedie e tavolo d’erba", and "Grass Architecture" I, II, and III. The project series also includes photographs of models for the "Grass Architecture" proposal.

Description:
Original directory name: "25_TRIAS-Aussenbrücke". File content shows the design and construction planning for a pedestrian bridge connecting BMW Welt to the BMW Museum. Records include plans, drawings, research material, presentations, approval planning, building specification, list of plans, final handover of the arch bridge, etc. The bulk of records are CAD drawings and 3D models of the design development and planning. The drawings are organized by type of plan: site plan, sections, axonometric views, etc. As for 3D models, they are organized mostly by file format, and then by date. The "3D" sub-directory also contains more than 1500 screenshots saved as JPEG. Additional records include site photographs, digitized sketches, visual research material, presentations of the concept, bridge structure technical descriptions, 2D and 3D technical drawings (in PDF, CAD, JPG, and Illustrator formats), renderings, project planning charts, and plan lists. Most common file formats: JPEG File Interchange Format, AutoCAD Drawing, 3DM, Exchangeable Image File Format (Compressed), Maya Binary File Format
