Description:
- These sketches are mostly drawings for runway designs within the square site plan of the Los Angeles Municipal Airport project, with an elevation showing the massing of forms for the airport buildings. There are also at least three sketches for a segmentally-arched structure, possibly elevations for Lloyd Wright's second project for a shell for the Hollywood Bowl. This second project was commissioned in 1928; it was to be an elliptical shell, quarter-circular in elevation.

Description:
- The two halves of this drawing show alternate stage sets from which the patron could make his choice. It is unclear whether this design was for a painted trompe-l'oeil stage backdrop and/or a constructed stage set. The deep unified space and low vanishing point of the central piazza/hemicycle interior indicates that this section is probably a painted trompe-l'oeil, however, the curtain pulled back within the central arch and the inscribed scale suggest that some of the architectural elements may have been constructed (Fuhring, 161 and 570). An etching of the Hermes is laid down on the left variant of the central portion of the drawing. The prickings indicate that the overall design was intended to be executed, and the crown above the central cartouche indicates a possible royal connection.
