The Studio’s hardware in 134 models
Next to his transitional installation KAPKAR/ ZM-S*B3-JH, Frank Havermans was asked to make a second installation in the 30-meter-long store window of Schunck Glaspaleis. He designed KAPKARTOFUD # Noordvitrine, a modelexhibition with 134 design models.
The models are the hardware of Studio Frank Havermans. For the solitair store window Havermans has made three exhibition displays, interesting from all angles, which have been constructed from fragments taken from earlier installations on which and against which models are displayed.
As a result of the process, these models – literally Havermans’ three dimensional blueprints – take on an autonomous status. This landscape of models is suggestive of how architecture might otherwise be practised. An architectual dialect which – parallel to refinede language – envisages a richer style of construction.
