Designs to be sent in by November 21st, 1917. Our 59th Competition We offer a prize of £1 Is. Od. for the design adjudged to be the best for a Main Entrance to an Art Gallery The Art Gallery is proposed to be erected in one of the leading towns of New Zealand which has a population of about 12,000 people, and the whole building is estimated to cost about £12,000. It is to be a single storey building faced with white stone or white marble. The entrance is to be in the centre of a central projecting portion, and is to be reached by a short flight of steps—the floor of the building being about 3 ft. above ground level. The doorway or doorways are to be recessed a few feet, so as to form an open portico. As this is the chief feature in a building devoted to the fine arts, naturally there will be a certain amount of statuary, sculpture, etc., while the architectural treatment will be rich though restrained and refined. The style employed is to be Classic Renaissance, and the correct proportions of the Orders used with their various mouldings, etc., according to Vignola, must be carried out. The object is to enable the student to apply the knowledge he has acquired of the Classic Orders, in a practical manner. Drawings Required: Ground plan; front elevation; separate elevation of recessed doorways, side elevation, and section. Drawings to be inked in, and correctly rendered with sepia, the sectional portions filled in with Indian ink. Seale: sin to the foot.
