ABSTRACT
By setting high standards for the profession, Biichler distinguished the architect from the craftsman; a hierarchic distinction was being made between the thinker and the doer, the designer and the artisan. In this way he was recording the end o f the long national tradition of architecture as the domain of uneducated practitioners - designer-craftsmen, master carpenters, master bricklayers, sometimes even surveyors, builders of mills, and Public Works officials.
