Who’s Who in Architecture.
Reading edition
This new volume, which makes its first appearance in 1914, will take its place henceforth as a work of reference for everyone connected with architecture and building. Perhaps its greatest attraction lies in the fact that it occupies a sort of midway position between the biography and the directory, possessing all the personal interest of the one and all the detailed information of the other. The societies have their list of members, and the directories give, more or less correctly, the names and addresses of architects in practice, but the information thus presented is of the baldest description, and quite devoid of all personal attraction. “Who’s Who in Architecture” is of far greater interest and value. It gives a succinct account of all the most notable men in the profession—their training, achievements, etc.—and not only of the leading men, but also of the many architects who have done important work without having had the attention of the profession directed to it. The book also gives addresses, etc., and as the list of architects is a thoroughly comprehensive one, “Who’s Who in Architecture” thus fulfils a dual purpose as—
(1) A personal record of members of the profession, and
(2) A list of architects practising in the United Kingdom.
Hence it is a volume which every architect needs to have on his shelf.
