→ Experiment 5 — Typology, Paper
Create an archive of at least 24 records (all with captions) printed on multiple pages/cards and as an animated gif. The focus is on similarity (for example: form) through the lens of your research inquiry. Number of pages and format are up to you. Consider this an opportunity to explore directions for your final archive (which does not have to be on paper).

3/30: Field Trip
4/6: Individuals
4/13: Typology Presentation

Using a large-format view camera, the Bechers methodically recorded blast furnaces, winding towers, grain silos, cooling towers, and gas tanks with precision, elegance, and passion. Their rigorous, standardized practice allowed for comparative analyses of structures that they exhibited in grids of between four and thirty photographs. They described these formal arrangements as “typologies” and the buildings themselves as “anonymous sculpture.”
