Loeb Design Science: 3D Models

The Arthur Loeb Design Science Teaching Collection at RISD consists of 412 structural and tensegrity 3D Models including Loeb’s “Moduledra” prototypes, Stewart Coffin puzzles, and Dennis Dreher jitterbugs. The collection also includes the Symmetry Portfolio, 164 geometric silkscreens produced by Loeb and his teaching assistant, artist Holly Alderman, that present all infinite tessellating symmetry systems possible in the plane.

If you would like to access any part of the Loeb Collection, please use the catalog here as a finding aid and, once you've made selections, contact the staff of the VMRC via this Loeb Collection Request Form to make an appointment to view the physical items.

Printing is not supported at the primary Gallery Thumbnail page. Please first navigate to a specific Image before printing.
