..architecture studies ;)
This might become a case of tl;dr, but if so, don't ask me what it is ;)
Normally when we do photography, we "find" our subjects. Or they are "given", or presented to us. Not so often do we create them. Photographing architects are among those who have that rare pleasure.. But even then the subjects are usually made for an entirely different purpose and the photos are just representations of them. In the previous semester in my architecture studies, I had the rare pleasure of exploring photography as a tool in itself. to -not take- but actually create photographs that was just that -images. This was done in combination with physical models in cardboard, plastic and similar. Sometimes the model served the photo, other times the opposite.
The course I participated in was called Studio B3, a highly abstract, experimental, pedagogic and philosophic course. The main aim is for the students to explore their own creative process -to discover where the ideas come from and how to develop them. To kickstart this they usually have a main theme; in later years a series called "The New Collective"; a search for a new relationship between architecture, nature and culture, through one specific subject -this time; Garden, previously; network, market, scene, dwelling, workplace etc..
So what are these images? They are photos from some of the 15 physical models I made only for the sake of translating the vague images in my head into a format I could communicate. Some of the photos are just representations of the models, but which I enjoy as photos nonetheless. Most of them however, are as close as I could come to the images that intuitively emerged from my imagination when discussing "garden" in a wider sense.
structural model of the basilica showing a cross-section of the central part of the church with the domes of the Ascension, the chancel and the south transept. The wooden support system for the domes above those in masonry and an example prior to their elevation can be seen. The groin vault structure supported by balusters roofing the crypt and the ancient tomb of Saint Mark can also be seen. Scale 1:33

Architect; Jan Kapliky, Future Systems.
Who can deny the immense talents Jan possessed? All the ‘Gherkins’ of the world, both present and future, owe him thanks. Who knows, there may be a whole ‘Freudian Architectural Movement’ waiting in the wings to emerge and declare Jan their inspiration.
I am unable to let this chance go without mentioning one of the best quips on this creation, which you can see from the illustration has been with Jan for a while, but why it took this particular form is best to leave with some one more knowledgeable on these matters.
However, story goes something like this; Jan submitted the model on right for displaying in an architectural exhibition in some famous venue, the name of which escapes me. The poor curator in charge was in a quandary and at the last minute had cold feet and failed to display the model. When Jan, who was known for his temper, came across this poor curator after noticing the absence of his creation and rushed towards him, the curator was heard muttering “ Sorry Jan, there has been a cock up…”

Bates Motel from "Psycho" One of the very first scratch built models I did way back in 1982. All basswood, HO model train scale (aprox 1/8" to a foot). The only reference pic that I had at the time was a 3D viewmaster from the Universal Studio tour.
I keep this one in my display case here at the shop :)

1/2 Scale after windows, rockwork & details added. Wood construction, cast resin details, polyester resin for stucco-like textures. Most lines are bent like a freehand sketch. The wavy diamond pattern window was framed out in basswood then cast in silicone for two part resin castings. The base of the lighthouse model has these same diamond windows, and its far too time consuming to re make so many. When framing out a window I use a wood blank 'plug' thats the same dimension as the casting. Then remove the plug and install the casting and its a perfect fit!
Finished piece for a private collector. These are also ideal for G-scale garden railroads, part of a European Village.

The Market Auditorium, located on Market Street spanning the space from 10th to 11th Street that is now Market Plaza, replaced the old 2nd Ward Market House which was razed in 1911. Designed by Wheeling architect Frederick F. Faris, the cornerstone for the new Market Auditorium was laid on April 25th, 1912, and the entire structure was nearly completed by January 1913. The building, which was the largest in West Virginia at the time of its completion, was constructed of vitrified brick and structural steel, 506 feet long and 40 feet wide at the ends, and accommodated 3,500 people. Its market section had 64 stalls for a daily market, with 23 of the spaces fronting streets where farmers could sell from wagons. The second floor contained office rooms. An ordinance to raze the auditorium was passed in 1961. It was demolished in 1964.

Cardiff Bay Opera House Competition was won by this scheme. Welsh found the scheme 'unpalatable' and missed the chance of having this winner and Richard Rogers Assembly building side by side.

Early stages of the half timbered crooked organic storybook effect. Balcony, stairs, shutters, entry bridge roof & shingles yet to be installed. The tower has the slightest convex curve to it, not a flat consistent slope like a typical lighthouse. This would be the front view (entrance side) with the ocean behind it. Other photos show better detail of crumbled brick and mortar effect. The entire structure is hollow to be lit internally.
Put the straight edge back in the toolbox! This is all done in Crooked Keebler Geppetto Old World Storybook style. Actually takes more work because every table saw cut is a straight line and needs to be distressed & bent for the lines to flow like a freehand sketch.
