| Abstrakt: | The provincial architects are an important group of public architects in nineteenth-century Belgium. Their job was often meticulously described in decrees, revealing their task in the whole design and building process, from concept to completion. This vast corpus of official texts holds multiple indications on aspects such as the organisation of public works, the importance of surveillance of the construction site and the specific tasks of the provincial architect on the construction site. The consecutive decrees reveal an evolution in the task of the public architect: from an architect taking part in every aspect of the design and construction process, to the public architect as an objective and competent supervisor of the entire process. The evolving position of the provincial (and public) architect on the construction site can be interpreted. |
