McLeod describes this trajectory in the careers of several architects: “for Robert Stern, from a critique of public housing in the Roosevelt Island Competition to luxury suburban developments: for Charles Moore, from a sensitive search for place and a regionally responsive vocabulary at Sea Ranch to outlandish walls and amusement parks at the New Orleans World's Fair: for Michael Graves, from the startling forms of Fargo-Moorhead to the cartooned imagery of Disney Dolphin hotels: and for Andres Duany, Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, and developer Robert Davis, from the 1960s idealism that inspired Seaside to its present Victorian condomininms for Atlanta lawyers.”

  • 1957 . The Hidden Persuaders London : Longman . Here Wilson refers to ‘The Hidden Persuader syndrome’ as the view that “marketing is seen as a huge increasingly dangerous technology making it possible to induce persons to buy things, propositions, and causes they either do not want or which are bad for them.” This view he takes from Vance Packard,. See Wilson, The Marketing of Professional Services, p. 23.
  • Wilson . The Marketing of Professional Services 23 – 24 . He continues by saying, “Perhaps the short run problem of firms is to persuade clients to buy existing services, but the long-run objective is clearly to create the services buyers need and to ensure that they are aware of them.” In an earlier section he says the major function of marketing is “to present a company's offering in a way which will provide profit for the supplying firm while enabling prospective purchasers to perceive values for which they are willing to sacrifice alternative uses of their money”. Wilson, The Marketing of Professional Services, p 13.
  • Wilson says that the work of W J Wittreich represented the breakthrough that marketeers had been looking for—the advance in understanding of the concepts which underlie the differences between product arid service buying and marketing. See Wittreich, “How to Buy/Sell Professional Services”, pp 128–131.
  • states , Wilson . “The marketing of professional services requires the use of the full range of public relations techniques, if only because for the professional service firm PR with its indirect appeals seems to offer the one reasonable certain way of overcoming embargoes which are maintained for ethical or other reasons for the nse of advertising and other promotional methods.” Wilson, The Marketing of Professional Services, p 119.

  • Handbook of Public Relations New York : McGraw-Hill . By the early 1970s books and articles on public relations were being published in profuse amounts in America. Most of the books (some in their second, third and even sixth edition) espoused a “how-to-do-it” approach to establishing “your own PR program.” They defined and classified the objects, themes and strategies of public relations as a theory with direct implications for modem day business success.

This “manifesto” was a strong statement on behalf of the Institute “as a responsible professional organisation” about its concern over the long-term aspects of the conservation of energy and the “more frugal use of energy in buildings.” This outward act of political lobbying stirred much interest in the profession, and bore responses from governmeut ministers as to their policies on energy conservation, housing and the recycling and rehabilitation of buildings.

The ACI Architecture Award in 1982 is deliberately designed to recognise this fact, and to encourage Australian architects to continue to develop still further this sense of national identity.” Grimwade, “ACI—1982 National Awards Sponsor”, p 58.
