This was the first of two design options and locations proposed for Donald Fisher’s extensive modern art collection. This model was made to be an intricate puzzle with lift-off sections revealing all interior art gallery spaces. We loved duplicating the priceless sculptures in miniature and were intrigued by the unique aspect of the exterior wall stone pattern. We managed to manipulate it with laser score lines, of varying weights, to create the optical illusion of a 3D effect. It simply worked, no matter how closely, or from which angle, one looked.
