[Corpora-List] Corpora for EAP: Architecture...?

[Nigel Bruce]

I realise this is a little specialised - following the responses to Susana 
- but does anyone know of a corpus of Architecture texts, complete with 
drawings or even spoken commentary.
We have an ESL-medium Architecture programme here at HKU and are looking 
for material for a searchable corpus.
We actually have ESL-medium university programmes across the spectrum, and 
are looking for corpora across that spectrum, but so far have only really 
found - and developed - highly suitable corpora for our Law students.
Any ideas welcome.
