Architectural Scale Model, Copper Facade — Paris Museum Exhibition

5 October 2017 · Paris

A copper-wound cubic maquette sits under a clear acrylic vitrine on a white plinth, the warm reddish-brown layering of its facade catching the gallery's soft overhead light. Behind it, a second architectural model — low, curving, grey — occupies its own plinth, offering an immediate counterpoint in both material and form. The museum display strips architecture back to its first principles: the form alone, at human scale, without the noise of a city around it. The copper model earns the attention.
