The ‘thermal’ design: ground plan, elevations and sections

Competition drawing
C.R. Cockerell and assistants, 1836
Ground plan, elevations of south and east facades, sections from south to north and east to west. Pen and wash. 64×53
MS Add.9272/4/38

Apart from a study for this work (Add. 9272/1/5), no other drawings were produced to depict Cockerell’s perfunctory effort of compliance with the competition programme. Numbered first in the sequence, the absence of colour or detail in the drawing would have made the subsequent depictions of the principal design appear all the more spectacular.
