Myth Buster Monday - Architecture is an Ancient Profession

The profession of being an architect is relatively new.  In ancient times, the mathematicians were the architects.  During the Gothic and Renaissance time, the artists and inventors, such as DaVinci did the architecture duties.  In the 1600-1700's, Gentlemen Architects such as Thomas Jefferson, had the time and money to devote to the design of buildings as a gentleman's hobby.  It wasn't until the mid 1800's that architecture as a profession became a specialization.
