This collection contains a series of loose drawings used as reference material by Makiya Associates architects. The drawings include examples of patterns, architectural elements, and design details.

The bulk of the drawings are labeled "MKA Office Handbook." A small number of other similar drawings, found with this series, are not labeled as such but are included here.

The Makiya Archive also contains a set of 51 notebooks that collectively comprise a design reference library, with volumes containing drawings and images related to building elements, building materials, design elements, and building types & styles. These notebooks are not digitized, but are available for consultation on site.
