NOTES: This design, titled 'Pericles' by an unidentified architect, features a small 'temple' structure (intended to house the RIBA president) surmounting a column-shaped tower which is shown emerging from behind the eroded facade of the RIBA's existing headquarters building (designed by George Grey Wornum in 1934). The design also features a water cascade, swimming pool and bandstand.
