There is a small gallery in New York which specializes in
architectural sketches and renderings.  The gallery was featured a few
years back in a cover article for "architectural record" or
"architecture" magazine, possibly under a headline titled "Is it
Art?". I would like to know the name and address of the gallery.

Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 25 Dec 2004 19:37 PST

Quite possibly it's the Max Protech gallery:

as featured in Architectural Record in 2002:

Does this sound like it might be it...?

I am going to check with the originator of the question (a friend of
mine who knows the name of the gallery but can't seem to remember it)
and will let you know soon.  Thanks!!

No, he says that he knows the Protetch gallery and this is not the
gallery he is looking for.  He says that unlike the Protetch gallery
the gallery he is seeking only works with architectural drawings and
models.  Please keep looking!  Thanks!!

So would you [or he rather] know it if I said [wrote] it? I haven't
been able to find the article (I am actually more interested in this),
but if you can confirm the gallery, maybe I will be able to.

I used Art in America's "Guide to Museums, Galleries, Artists: 2004 - 2005."*

The inventory on the website doesn't look like what you describe, but
it might be a fit (and they started showing some nature paintings
recently?).

And you don't want this, do you?
You have heard of StoreFront for Art and Architecture?
It is nonprofit org that has exhibitions and has an archive available by appt.
97 Kenmore St 10012
(212) 431-5795 http://www.storefrontnews.org/index.html
It has neat architecture too.

If it's not any of the above, there are a couple of other options, but
they're not pretty:
e.g.:

*It's free to subscribers. The magazine's not great, but the guide has
come in handy. U.S. only. I don't know if there's an internet
version... I know that's not really the "Google Answers" ethos, but...
