Synopsis:
The Mark Goulthorpe HypoSurface project records, 1990-2014, document the design development, technical implementation, exhibition, and marketing of various iterations of the HypoSurface wall. The wall has a “skin” divided up into pixel-like metallic facets manipulated by a network of actuating pistons in order to create images, texts and patterns in dynamic relief. Sensors allow people near the wall to influence its movement. The records include approximately 62,700 digital files, 3 folders of textual documents, and 44 prototype pieces, and a working HypoSurface wall module.

Description:
Sub-series documents competition entries and projects by James Stirling, and by the successive firms of James Stirling; Stirling and Gowan; James Stirling and Partner; James Stirling, Michael Wilford, and Associates; Michael Wilford and Partners; and Michael Wilford GmbH. Several projects were carried out in association with other architects, including Léon Krier, Walter Nägeli, and the firms of Giancarlo de Carlo and of Marlies Hentrup Norbert Heyer. A majority of projects were designed for London, England and other locations in England and Scotland, Germany and the United States. Other projects were designed for Italy, Iran, Japan, France, Algeria, Spain, Netherlands, Kenya, Qatar, Canada, Singapore and Switzerland. Material in this sub-series was produced between 1951 and probably 2004. The publication drawings for Stirling's projects were often drawn by Leon Krier, Russell Bevington, or Ulrich Schaad ('British Architecture Today', 1991). Sub-series contains reference drawings, conceptual and design development drawings, publication and presentation drawings and panels, and working drawings. It also contains photographic materials, textual records, models and artefacts.
