About This Item
New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1985. Second printing. Softcover. VG- (Slight soiling along book block edges and on first page, otherwise clean.). Gray & illus. wraps, 180 pp., many BW illus. "Ever since professional architects came into being in the eighteenth century, contends Andrew Saint, their ideology and training have emphasized individualism and artistic ability to the detriment of organizational and cooperative talents, comprehension of building technique, and social responsibility. As a result, architects are frequently regarded both by the public and by others within their industry as impractical idealists. In order to address these issues, Saint has taken various periods of time, episodes, careers, and books that contain within them the seeds of these problems and has used them to suggest some answers."
