Collection Description

The Hans Norbert Wormann collection comprises photographic materials, clippings and architectural drawings documenting the architects work in both Germany and the United States. The bulk of the materials were originally housed within a series of 12 portfolios created by the architect for marketing purposes. During the process of arranging the collection, these items were removed from the portfolios due to the long-term storage concerns associated with the original Acetate sleeves. All collection holdings were sorted, in alphabetical order, by project name and arranged into three series: I. Architectural Drawings, II. Photographic Materials & Clippings, and III. Architectural Fragments.

Wormann distributed, or otherwise, disposed of the bulk of his architectural records in the late 1970s as he closed his office. Therefore, the collection for the most part does not include any project correspondence, design drawings, or other types of materials commonly associated with architectural design and practice.
