This exhibition took two approaches to its theme, the first exploring how technology has intruded into architectural spaces, and the second presenting examples where engineering has overtaken design as the driving force in architectural projects.

Jørn Utzon (1918–2008), model of the geometry of the Sydney Opera House Shells, 1961. Wooden model, 70 × 295 × 890 mm. DMC 2973.

One key project of interest for the latter was the Sydney Opera House, a model of which Drawing Matter lent for display.
