Your Building & Your Architect
There are buildings and there is architecture, but the two terms are not necessarily synonymous, according to The American Institute of Architects, national professional society of 21,000 architects in the United States. Anyone embarking on a building project, whether it be a family planning to build a new home, a businessman constructing an office, or a minister building a church, wants a structure which encompasses both the science and art of building-and that is architecture.
How to achieve it, and how to select and work with an architect, are explained step by step in a brochure "Your Building & Your Architect," just published by AIA. Written primarily for the person, company or group involved in a first building project, it explains how to choose an architect, what his role and responsibilities are, and how to work with him for the most satisfactory results.
The booklet is an abridgement of a series of articles originally published in "The Architectural Forum" and copyrighted by Urban America, Inc. They were written by Donald Canty, then senior editor of "Forum," and now director of the Urban Information Center of Urban America and editor of its magazine "City." Significantly, Mr. Canty is not an architect. Therefore, his is a candid view of how both clients' and professions' interests can be best served.
Copies of the booklet are available to those interested in building from Information Services, The American Institute of Architects, 1735 New York Avenue, N.W., Washington, D. C. 20006.
