NOTES: This design (by 'Zara Thustra') proposes additional RIBA meeting rooms, library stores, architectural workships, exhibition and entertainment spaces housed within an airship-like balloon. The airship is shown both tethered to the RIBA's existing building at 66 Portland Place, London (designed by George Grey Wornum in 1934) and travelling above the City of London taking 'architecture to the people'.
