Summary: "Architects have always been worldly men. Once t hey were courtiers and now they are communicators. Unlike painters or musicians, their work can never be created in vacuo. A building is the product not only of the man who designs it, but of the society which pays for it, lives in it and looks at it. So when we start to analyses a purpose -built public building, like the British Museum we soon find ourselves involved as much with its purpose and its public as with its building." - From the Introduction
