Description
Craftsman's House
from Herzogenbuchsee, Berne, 1778
In Upper Argovia linen weaving, after farming, had been the most important source of income since the 17th century. Weavers and small traders formed the middle class. Johann Jakob Baur belonged here. In 1777 he filed for a permit to build this craftsman’s house.
House of Contrasts
The high-eaved tiled hip roof, the painted half-timber woodwork with white infills lend a measure of grace to the house. Smoke does not rise arbitrarily from the roof – an urban-looking double chimney conducts it formally away.
Architecture of Progress
Until then looms had been located on farms. Farming, cottage industry and weaving as auxiliary work went hand in hand. In 1778 the new house of the hosiery magnate Baur rendered this close-knit arrangement obsolete.
Ateliers and living space are still under one roof but lie on opposing sides of a well-lit corridor. Large windows admit light into the workrooms. The house design excludes agricultural activity. The building breathes the spirit of early industrialisation. It is no accident that it stood on the new highway from Zurich to Berne. Hardwood floors and fancy tile stoves inside fulfill the promise of wealth and progress made on the outside.
Historically, the fundamental role of pharmacists as a healthcare practitioner was to check and distribute drugs to doctors for medication that had been prescribed to patients. In more modern times, pharmacists advise patients and health care providers on the selection, dosages, interactions, and side effects of medications, and act as a learned intermediary between a prescriber and a patient. Pharmacists monitor the health and progress of patients to ensure the safe and effective use of medication. Pharmacists may practice compounding; however, many medicines are now produced by pharmaceutical companies in a standard dosage and drug delivery form. In some jurisdictions, pharmacists have prescriptive authority to either independently prescribe under their own authority or in collaboration with a primary care physician through an agreed upon protocol
