Studio H,1973-Present
Sketches for a curriculum program book
Hand-drawn sketches like the one above were a standard approach to design explorations and presentations in the pre-computer era. Although less precise than later computer renderings, they were often very evocative as drawings.
The Essex Institute
Series of museum books
”Windows on the Past” is one in a series of books Studio H designed for the Essex Institute, a literary, historical, and scientific society located in Salem, Massachusetts. Between 1848–1992, the institute maintained a museum, library, historic houses; arranged educational programs; and issued scholarly publications. In1992, the institute merged with the Peabody Museum of Salem to form the acclaimed Peabody Essex Museum.
For these museum book projects, we collaborated with the great art historian Anne Farnam (1940-1991), who served as Curator at the Institute (1975-1983) and as its President (1984-1991).
Education Development Center
Books and other materials for the “Exploring Human Nature” curriculum
Exploring Human Nature was one of several innovative, multi-disciplinary programs of study for high school students developed by Education Development Center, a team of curriculum developers in collaboration with Harvard scholars. Printed materials for the course included books and booklets, cards, posters, and role simulations. The images shown above are a few covers and interior pages from a series of some 20 coursebooks.
