Summary

Throughout the 19th century a considerable number of magazines specialised in various architectural problems were published. These publications were easily and quickly disseminated all over the western world and they enjoyed considerable acceptance among the architects of those times. They therefore constituted an important source of information on this discipline and of possible inspiration when designing future projects. Unfortunately most of the libraries by these professionals have not been handed down to us, and it is thus very difficult to study the incidence such magazines had in their production. Because of this, the analysis we carry out of The Builder and Atlas zur Zeitschrift für Bauwesen magazines is especially interesting, because we know they were read by architects from Biskaia like Severino de Achúcarro and Edesio de Garamendi.
