In the first half of the twentieth century Auguste Perret gained international recognition for his buildings and we employ two of his unbuilt museums as the basis for illustration of the technique. Current knowledge of his unbuilt projects is based on surviving literature and incomplete illustrations.We show that the use of digitally-enabled techniques facilitates a fuller examination of the original material. Interpretation of material requires parallel studies into the architect, their influences and the context they operated within in order to extrapolate and fill gaps in an informed way.The construction of various digital representations enables a forensic analysis of the projects; consequently we can produce a richer set of information that can, in turn, enhance our analysis and understanding of an architect and their work, in this case, Perret.  \n538  \n1. Introduction  \nOver the last thirty years architectural research has seen a growing interest in lost designs, whether built and destroyed or never built at all [1,2] . In some important recent cases the ultimate object has been to enable the construction of an incomplete project, such as Temple Sagrada Familia [3] . Projects such as this, and similar ones such as thereconstruction of Frauenkirche in Dresden [4] generate contention and debate about the merits of construction of an incomplete or destroyed architectural artefact. But contribution to that particular debate lies outside the scope of this paper. We focus, instead on techniques that can contribute to enhancing critical analysis and understanding of an architect and an architects work.  \nThe sources of material left to study architectural projects can include archaeological remains, remnants of buildings that have been altered or added to, photographs and images of destroyed buildings as well as architectural drawings and models. From such sources data can be extracted allowing three dimensional digital models to be produced with a level of complexity that allows a range of analyses to be undertaken. Previously, such digital models have been exploited to visualise lost or unbuilt architecture [5]. But we can go beyond visualisation, and by methodical study, produce a range of digital representations that support and enable a better understanding and critical review of a design and the designer. As mentioned, the process of constructing a digital representation of a lost, unbuilt or destroyed architectural artefact is used to augment our understanding.That additional understanding may be derived from serendipity, or from a more deliberate set of investigative acts with pre-determined questions, or both. For instance, in the investigation of the work of Connell,Ward and Lucas undertaken by Brown [6], revealed, unexpectedly, that more of the Lords Court scheme in London had actually been constructed than previously thought. In contrast, in the analysis of the Museum designs by Perret, described here, we set out to interrogate Perret’s ‘ideal’ propositions against actual designs by Perret.  \nThe mere act of turning 2D drawings and other information sources into data that can be used to construct the digital models often reveals that the data is incomplete. Therefore parallel research is required into the architect, their design methods, design outputs and the contemporary context they operated within in order to construct the missing elements of the digital model in an informed way.  \nThe drawings, models, writing by, wr","cbCaioBPosJNlfSE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioBPosJNlfSE","pdf",4474731,"English","# 1.
