Portfolio / Glassell School of Art Site Model

This basswood site model was fabricated for Steven Holl’s Glassell School of Art project at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. In order to accommodate the design’s subterranean features, the CNC routed basswood surface was attached to a basswood-lined plywood box below. The box would allow the model to show off the tunnel connecting the Glassell School of Art to the Kinder Building (also designed by Steven Holl) as well as the underground parking access on the other side of the model.
