Exhibition & Pedagogy: Probing Architecture’s Virtual Past in Museum Cast Collections

This paper describes two educational projects, conducted by the authors in partnership with the Carnegie Museum of Art, in order to illustrate the specific affordances museum exhibition provides in contemporary design practice. We discuss two collaborative and interconnected case studies from our recent work in the context of teaching and design research. The first, an advanced architecture studio, Low-Relief: The virtual and material cultures of architectural deceit, was an experimental course doubling as a museum exhibit. The second project, which ran parallel to the studio, was the development of an augmented reality app: Plaster ReCast. The app was designed to facilitate access to the plaster cast for museum visitors.
