Architect James Stokoe and art professor David Adamson joined forces
under the banner of Image Bank Software to create these architectural
clip art sets. The first three were released in July 1984: Interiors
(domestic floor plans), Buildings (side-on building exteriors), and
Landscapes (top-down and side-on landscaping features).

A September [Washington Post profile][1] found ebullience all around. With Hayden Publishing's sales expectations "far exceeded," they had contracted with Image Bank for another ten da Vinci modules. Image Bank's business manager disclosed that "at least 25 more" were planned, and projected that Hayden software boxes would soon be found next to toothpaste at the grocery store. (Meanwhile, an industry analyst cautioned that the market could bear only so many $50 MacPaint dream-home kits.) In fact, the line only produced two more entries: Commercial Interiors (office floor plans) and Building Blocks (isometric exteriors). One other collection, [Home Design][2] (isometric interiors), was issued without the da Vinci branding.
