A volume that spans nearly 250 years of architecture, this handsome publication features projects known as Diploma Works by some of the most illustrious members of the Royal Academy of Arts. Diploma Works were presented by the architects upon their election to the Academy and represent the scope and vision of their creative process. They include Sir John Soane's designs for a new House of Lords, Sir Robert Smirke's reconstructive interpretation of the Acropolis at Athens, William Wilkins's designs for the gateway and screen at Kings College, Cambridge, Alfred Waterhouse's, Manchester Town Hall, Sir Edwin Lutyens's work in New Delhi, and Sir Nicholas Grimshaw's Waterloo International Terminal.
