ABOUT THIS PAGE
This is the page of models, or specific examples
of vernacular types. Although the name might
generate some confusion with the idea of scale-model or maquette, I will
call these examples "models" until
finding a better term (some people would call
them "typological
versions," but it sounds too complicated for an online project).
The idea of "model" is related to that of "type." Type
would be a building structure whose characteristics
remain more or less constant, accross different models. Model would be
one out of many variations or interpretations of the type rules. As a way
of example, the scheme shown represents different models of turreted
houses, which belong to the same Victorian type.

Drexel Institute Building
United States

Description
|
Designed by the Wilson brothers, notable designers of the 19th century, and built in 1891. It was the original campus of Drexel University, then called Drexel Institute of Art, Science, and Technology.
This building features a richly decorated skin, covering a quite rational structure; a mix between Beaux-Arts classicism (that would become popular with the Columbian exposition two years after this building's completion), and the Modern style, which was also beginning to take form in this time.
