 | | The RIBA Trust is delighted to announce that the British Architectural Library has purchased the Codex Stosch, one of the most significant 16th century collections of architectural drawings of the great buildings of ancient Rome, produced by Giovanni Battista da Sangallo (1496-1548), a member of Raphael’s circle. |
 | | The British Architectural Library is very grateful to the Earl of Rosse for kindly depositing on loan to the library the original manuscript of Miscelanea Structura Curiosa by the Irish architect Samuel Chearnley (1717 or 1718 - 1749), dating from 1745. |
 | | In addition to architectural theory, practice and history there is material on allied subjects such as building and construction, civil engineering, structural engineering, landscape architecture, interior design and decoration, the decorative arts, town and country planning, and construction law. |
