You will find plans in books, articles, and on the web. Wentworth has an extensive collection of books and scholarly journals, which is where the highest resolution and quality images will be found.

Search Formulation Tips:

  • Search by the building name, architect/firm name, or building type. You might have to try several approaches.
  • Don't give up. Contact a librarian if you are unable to find plans for the building you need.

Where to Search:

  • Try the library catalog first
  • Next go to the Avery Index of Architectural Periodicals
  • Choose advanced search in Avery Index of Architectural Periodicals, and go to the physical description box. Select plans if you know you want the article to include plans.

Our library staff created a subject guide to help you. Take a look at the Architecture Subject Guide and choose the drawings and plans tab for more suggestions.

In searching the Avery Index (Harvard AND graduate And Gropius), I found several article citations on the influence of Gropius at Harvard.

Also a search of the online catalog (Gropius Harvard): had several books that should contain the plans that you need.
