Ronald Fielding Dodd ARIBA was a Scottish architect and Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
After serving as a Second Lieutenant in the British Army’s Machine Gun Corps during the First World War, Dodd was most active as an architect in the 1930s. Over the course of the decade, he contributed designs for St Peter’s College, Oxford; St Edmund Hall, Oxford; Stowe School; the Acland Hospital in North Oxford, where he added a Neo-Georgian frontage; and the 16th-century Chippinghurst Manor in Oxfordshire. To mark his architectural achievements, there is now a Fielding Dodd Prize for “Outstanding Work” involving architecture at Oxford Brookes University.
These particular plans date from 1933 and depict the proposed alterations to the accommodation W.C. Hand coloured with vibrant colours, these plans transform their modest subject into something quite beautiful.
