Excerpt from The Designers of Our Buildings
If he does think about it at all, his thoughts are guided by his eye to the staring boards of the various contractors, and he is satisfied with the nebulous notion that each is doing his hit for the amenities of the edifice. The very word architect does not occur to him. I know. I know more namely, that if you asked any sixty men lunching at an ordinary London club to write down the names of six distinguished architects, not more than two or three could do it.
