DR1986:0767:050
Description:
- Twenty hectographs of the Monadnock Building were probably cut apart when the southern half, owned by Shepherd Brooks, became the Kearsarge Building in 1889 (DR1986:0767:120). The southern half of the building (DR1986:0767:466:001-042 and DR1986:0767:467:001-054) was cut out, leaving the northern half (DR1986:0767:048 - DR1986:0767:056, DR1986:0767:248 - DR1986:0767:257, and DR1986:0767:259). The hectographs were possibly divided so that two discrete sets of reprographic copies could be produced for the Monadnock and Kearsarge Buildings.

Projet
Donmar
AP144.S2.D53
Description:
File documents the unexecuted conversion of the Donmar rehearsal studio in Covent Garden, London, England, United Kingdom into an experimental theatre and late night meeting place. The client was the Fun Palace Trust ("Cedric Price Supplement", 'Architectural Design', vol. 40, (October 1970), 515) and negotiations for the conversion were undertaken with Donald Albery of New Theatre and Donmar Productions Limited. Movable platforms, furniture, and fittings were designed so that various seating and performance areas of different sizes could be created to accommodate a wide range of activities and entertainment of an impromptu nature. Survey drawings show the Donmar rehearsal studio and environs. Drawings for the conversion include plans, sections, axonometric projections, cutaway axonometric drawings showing the interior layout from two points of view, and conceptual sketches and perspectives of interior spaces in use. Axonometric drawings for fittings and furniture show platforms, a small stage, a chair/table, and a "conversation box". A drawing examines the sightlines of the converted interior by showing human figures in relationship with the movable units. Amended floor plans and sections show variations for the interior layout. Material in this file was produced between 1963 and 1964. File contains design development drawings and textual records.

DR1987:0399
Description:
- This drawing is blackened with graphite on the verso so that the design could be transferred to another surface, in this case the submitted competition panel, DR1987:0359. There are drops of black watercolour and a series of black ink lines in the upper right corner. These media were used for the submitted panel and their presence here also suggests that this drawing was used in preparation of the submitted panel. There are a series of design sketches, along the left side and at the centre of the drawing, which appear to deal with the relationship of the airfield to hangars.

Description:
- The Stowe engravings illustrate a garden design of the so-called Transitional Phase in English landscape history. While containing many formal elements typical of the 17th century -- such as parterres, avenues of clipped trees and hedges, fountains and straight-sided canals -- Stowe, as depicted in these engravings, also incorporates many garden buildings and, most importantly, ha-has that are characteristic of the 18th-century English landscape garden. - The marbled and leather-edged portfolio in which the prints were acquired is stored separately in a solander box (size IV).
