Writing a history of the architectural profession from the bottom up'from the standpoint of the architectural draftsman'George Barnett Johnston clarifies the role and status of the subordinate architectural workers who once made up the base of the profession. Johnston's account of the evolution of Ramsey and Sleeper's book also offers a case study of the social hierarchies embedded within architecture's division of labor. Johnston investigates what became of the draftsman and of drafting culture, and asks'importantly, in today's era of digital formats'what price is exacted from architectural labor as architecture pursues new professional ideals.
