Abstract

Since the 1830s, along with the the founding of the first Institutes for Architecture, journals began to be published. They promoted the adopted duty of the Institute to protect the works and status of its members. These journals were mostly written by architects for architects, which led to the situation that arguments seldom met with a response outside the profession, and caused the discourse between architect and public to be frustrated. This state of affairs is possibly injurious to architects themselves, and it is stated that it is not all that difficult to write intelligibly about architecture. A similar experience in South Africa is highlighted.
