Brad Cloepfil / Allied Works Architecture: Case Work

In Brad Cloepfil / Allied Works Architecture: Case Work, published by Metropolis Books on the occasion the firm's exhibition of architectural models and drawings opening Sunday at the Denver Art Museum, Cloepfil writes, "The objects are a material exploration, a search for evocation and provocation. The choice of material and process—fired, carved, laminated, welded or cast—is determined by the search for a project's particular potential. As objects, they are potent and expressive, with content that can be expanded by other disciplines and in multiple media. They occupy an unclaimed world of ideas, open to interpretation and development, and this is their fundamental importance for our work."
