Martin Shaw Briggs (1882โ1977) was a British architectural historian and author who specialised in the Baroque period before it became the subject of serious academic enquiry, and became vice-president of the Royal Institute of British Architects.[1]
Early Work
In 1904, Briggs was awarded a prize by the Leeds and Yorkshire Architectural Society (now West Yorkshire Society of Architects or WYSA), a subset of the Royal Institute of British Architects. The prize was for drawings "showing the construction of an entrance hall and staircase."[2]
