American competitions
American Competitions is a 1907 Philadelphia volume published by the T Square Club, collecting architectural competition entries from across the United States for the profession and its students. The plates show large plan drawings, elevations and site plans in graphite or ink wash, with the design thinking laid out in clean, measured linework; a designer could draw on the ordered layouts, classical facade rhythms and restrained grayscale rendering for historicist or civic-building compositions.
