William H. White

For the British warship designer, see William Henry White. For the Canadian politician, see William Henry White (politician). For the British architect (1825–1900), see William White (architect). For others by the name of William White, see William White.

William H. White was a British architect. In 1892, he published "The Architect and his artists, an essay to assist the public in considering the question is architecture a profession or an art"[1] in reply to "Architecture, a Profession or an Art" edited by Norman Shaw and T. G. Jackson.

This had been part of the course of events which resulted in the passing of the Architects (Registration) Acts, 1931 to 1938 which established the statutory Register of Architects and monopolistic restrictions on the use of the vernacular word "architect", imposed with threat of penalty on prosecution for infringement.

The keeping of the Register of Architects is now governed by the Architects Act 1997, and the name of the body responsible for the Register has been changed from the Architects' Registration Council of the United Kingdom (ARCUK) to the Architects Registration Board (ARB).
