D’Arcy Jones Explores Intelligence of Historic Ordinary Buildings in What Buildings Say Exhibition

D'Arcy Jones, a renowned architect and author based in Vancouver, showcased his doctoral research, "What Buildings Say," at Montana State University. This exhibition draws from his academic work and past projects in Norway and Switzerland, exploring architectural practices from these countries alongside Montana. It presented nine case studies that examined innovative construction methods, including dowel use over nails and unique staircase designs. Highlights included a centuries-old structure from Ballenberg and an 18th-century staircase. Additionally, Jones serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Calgary while teaching at Montana State University. The models on display were created by Pierce Morley and Logan Bohler, with images captured by Shane Hauser.
