ecology of absence
The city of St. Louis' Plaza Commission, responsible for completing the development of parks and civic buildings in the Memorial Plaza area, commissioned architectural sculptor Victor Berlendis to create a scale model of the proposed Municipal Auditorium and Opera House before construction began.
The Plaza Commission had the model photographed from different angles and with various cardboard props to demonstrate how lovely it would look when completed. Here are three of those photographs, from the collection of the St. Louis Building Arts Foundation.
