This 21-by-61-inch horizontal panorama documents the Ohio School Employees Retirement Fund Building from Broad Street in Columbus—the primary facade of this institutional headquarters as it presents itself to the capital city’s main thoroughfare. The five-foot width captures the building’s street presence and architectural design.

Created in 2001 as part of a commission, the work documents the public face of an institution serving Ohio’s school employees. The Broad Street perspective shows how the building relates to its urban context, the facade design communicating institutional stability and responsible stewardship of retirement funds.

The horizontal format suits documentation of street facades, the composition capturing the building’s linear extent along Broad Street while revealing relationships to neighboring structures. Columbus’s status as state capital makes Broad Street particularly significant: a corridor of governmental and institutional buildings representing Ohio’s civic infrastructure.

The photo collage technique fragments the facade while preserving its overall design intention. The assembled composition documents both the architect’s formal conception and the lived reality of the building in its urban setting—pedestrians, vehicles, and environmental conditions that straightforward architectural photography might exclude.

This work complements the Patio documentation of the same building, together providing comprehensive coverage of a significant Columbus institution. The commission format enabled sustained engagement with architectural subjects that speculative work might not support.
