Career options for aspiring British architects were at an all-time low

Article Abstract:

An edict in the Theodosian Code relates Constantine's desire to exempt architects, plasterers and 30 other trades from obligations in order that they may acquire the leisure for studying their arts and so may be more inclined to obtain greater skills themselves and pass on their knowledge to their sons. It highlights a concern to perpetuate the talents of the building trade as precursors of the Medieval craft guild.

Article Abstract:

The emergence of the modern architect as a pure designer of buildings has become a bit of a commonplace in historical writing. Attitudes to architecture changed due to the new phase so the status is transformed and architecture is no longer learned from the bottom up through apprenticeship but to be understood intellectually from the lofty principles of published book-learning.

The diversity of stone cannot be portrayed fully in any geological museum as it comes in a wide range of color, texture, age, density, hardness and permeability. Stone is recycled but lack of diagnostic features makes it impossible to identify buildings that have used reused rubble or flint.
