"Design for the Royal Exchange, Dublin, 1769" is an architectural drawing by Thomas Sandby, an influential English architect and draughtsman of the 18th century. Sandby, who was a founding member of the Royal Academy and served as its first professor of architecture, is renowned for his contributions to architectural design and landscape architecture. This particular design was created in response to a competition held in 1769 for the construction of a new Royal Exchange building in Dublin, Ireland.

The Royal Exchange was intended to serve as a central hub for commercial activities in Dublin, reflecting the city's growing economic importance during the period. Sandby's design, although not ultimately selected for construction, is a significant example of his architectural vision and style. It showcases his adeptness in classical architectural principles, which were highly influential during the Georgian era.

Sandby's proposal for the Royal Exchange features a grand and symmetrical façade, characterized by the use of classical elements such as columns, pediments, and a balanced proportion. The design reflects the neoclassical aesthetic that was prevalent in European architecture at the time, emphasizing order, harmony, and grandeur. The detailed drawing includes meticulous annotations and measurements, providing insight into Sandby's meticulous approach to architectural planning.

While the Royal Exchange was eventually built to a different design by another architect, Sandby's submission remains an important historical document. It offers a glimpse into the competitive nature of architectural commissions in the 18th century and highlights the diverse range of ideas and styles that were considered for significant public buildings. Today, Sandby's design is preserved as part of architectural history, illustrating the rich legacy of neoclassical architecture and the creative endeavors of one of its prominent practitioners.
