→ Experiment 3 — Typology
A typology is a classification according to a general type or attribute. Through the lens of your research inquiry, identify one attribute to create an archive of at least 12 recordings. The shared attribute can be found within the “subject” (form, color, size, …) or the recording methodology (stencil printing, photographed from a specific perspective, material rubbings).
→ For next week
I will meet you individually on Zoom.
Prepare 3 mockup typologies—each with 4 records (one image with a grid 2×2). Each typology needs to have different content & different recording methodology.
Plus, formulate in one sentence what you want to learn through your archive.

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.”
