A study in the sociology of building with special reference to the architect.

It is apparent from this research that we need to develop a sociology of building in the same way that we are assembling a sociology of medicine, education, religion and of knowledge itself and that in the task of creating a sociology of building we should pay particular attention to the relevance of sociological theory. This dissertation does not claim to set out a sociology of building, but it can be regarded as a preliminary study perhaps useful to
that end. An aim in this research has been to concentrate on method, the
collection of data, classification and categorisation, thereby attempting
to shape an outline which later work may be able to fill in. Value
judgments have therefore been used sparingly and only when they can
serve some clear and specific purpose. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1960.
