Series 2: Presentation files, 1999 – 2009, contains CAD files, 3D models, renderings, and photographs used for presentation of the Phaeno Science Centre, especially during the competition and design phases. Formats include chiefly images (EXIF, JPEG, TIFF) and CAD files (AutoCAD, plotter files, EPS).
This series contains a wide variety of materials used by ZHA to present Phaeno Science Centre to clients, the press, and other stakeholders. This includes 3D models and CAD files, other drawings and diagrams, and photographs. Notably, this series includes concept animations used by ZHA to develop the shape and structure of Phaeno, as well as concept sketches possibly drawn by Zaha Hadid. Other materials of interest include a digitized copy of digital plans that had been printed and given a hand-painted rendering surface.
This material was located in a directory titled “7- Presentation” at the time of accession, alongside much of the material in Series 1: Design files. Within this series, the major directories are arranged alphabetically.
