Title:

Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California: Foundation plans for chapel, campanile and pool developed on an equilateral parallelogram grid, with sections showing concrete work

Date:

12 June 1949, revised November and December 1953

Description:

- These plans and sections for the concrete work for Wayfarers' Chapel, Palos Verdes, California, include the chapel, pool and vestry. They were revised in November and December 1953 to distinguish the existing work from proposed work, such as the vestry. These plans were developed on an equilateral parallelogram grid which is ruled in red ink on the verso. The measurements for a typical grid unit are given on the drawing and the draughtsman notes that the grid pattern was to be struck into the floor slab. The grid unit is inscribed on several orthographic drawings (eg. DR1987:0530) and is described by Lloyd Wright in the architect's statement (DR1987:0869:011:009).
