DR1980:0060:001
Description:
- This perspective drawing, with the plans for the first (DR1980:0060:002) and second (DR1980:0060:003) floors, form a set of early presentation drawings. According to David De Long, the scale is probably 1/4" = 1' (see object file). The house is presented as if seen from behind a window across the street. De Long also notes that this drawing does not show the low wall and the garden court indicated in the plans shown in Hitchcock; that the CCA drawing portrays a less cubic house than the photograph of the building in Hitchcock due to the former's higher point of view; and that the front windows in the drawing extend down to a sill slightly higher than that which supports the plants whereas they stop short of halfway down to the "plant" sill in the finished house.

DR1985:0415
Description:
- DR1985:0415 presents a cartographic survey of Wimbledon Park as "improved" in the second half of the eighteenth century. Covering some 1,200 acres, the park as shown in this plan contains all the elements of Capability Brown's mature landscape style: expanses of grass traversed by meandering paths, irregular plantings of trees placed singly and in clumps, and winding streams dammed to create a large, irregular lake near the centre of the property and several small ponds about the periphery. The main house (built 1732-33 for Sarah, the Duchess of Marlborough), its outbuildings, and the village church are shown at the southern end of the park, as is a kitchen garden dating from an earlier period. Roads, lanes, and neighbouring properties are neatly labelled in the draughtsman's hand, and the fall of the land has been indicated in shade lines.

DR1988:0425
Description:
- Le Corbusier prepared this drawing inscribed "reponse a lettre / de Gropius / recue le 22 Octobre 54" in response to Walter Gropius' suggestion that he too reply to a letter addressed only to Gropius by Eugene Callison, Chief engineer at UNESCO Headquarters, Paris. Callison had requested that Gropius comment on a proposal by the Zehrfuss-Breuer-Nervi team to add a pavilion to the existing UNESCO building. Le Corbusier was dissatisfied with the team's pavilion, which shows a narrow, glazed oblong raised on pilotis (Shapiro, fig. 219). He proposed instead this sketch for a detached pavilion consisting of a roughly-finished, curving wall enclosing a garden, which he sent to Callison, along with a critique of the Zehrfuss-Breuer-Nervi team's proposition. On 26 October 1954, he also sent copies of his proposal to all of the project advisors.

Rohault de Fleury collection
CI001
Synopsis:
The Rohault de Fleury collection documents the work of three generations of French architects, Hubert, his son Charles, and his grandson Georges, spanning from the early 18th to late 19th century. The collection is extremely varied encompassing both private and government commissions and including domestic work, institutional buildings, commercial buildings, urban planning, and student work from both the École des beaux-arts and the École polytechnique, and archaeological studies. Stylistically, the projects incorporate the two dominant contemporary directions in French architecture - functionalism as advocated by Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand and the classicism of the École des beaux-arts.
1717-[1884]
