Architect and Patron. A survey of professional relations and practice in England from the sixteenth century to the present day

Notes:

Based on an MA thesis, University of Durham, 1953. Written by an architect and teacher of architecture primarily for use by young architects. Deals with the historical development of the relationship of the architect with his or her patron [and through this person, user of the building] and builder. 'It is intended in the following pages to consider these relations historically, to study the machinery of professional practice they produced, and to examine the changes they underwent, as social and economic conditions varied, and with the relative positions of the three personalities'. Covers period from Tudor England to late 19th century. Includes a chapter 'Surveyors and architects' in the early period
