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).

Architectural projects
AP187.S1
Description:
This series documents fifty of Günter Günschel's architectural projects. Material in this file was produced between 1943 and 2006. Günschel's projects are mainly conceptual. However, he did craft a few models and realised small scale structures, mainly for his dome projects. Only a few projects were designed for specific geographic locations. Most of these were located in Germany, but there was also one for France and one for the United States. Documenting the series are conceptual sketches and drawings, stats, black-and-white photographs, photomontages, and a few textual records.

Projet
AP144.S2.D14
Description:
File documents the design for a darkroom and workshop enclosure unit for U.S.T.S. [United States Technical Services?], possibly for a temporary location in Paris, [France?]. The design calls for the use of a prefabricated aluminum scaffolding system. Reference working drawings in the textual records show the Circle-Vision 360 Travelling Show by Walt Disney Productions for which Price's design may have been intended. Material in this file was produced in 1973. Reference drawings (dated 1970) of the air dome, Circle Vision 360 Traveling Show, are by Walt Disney Productions. File contains a working drawing and textual records.
