why don't architects know how to work the media?

The reason I positioned "buy the product" as the endgame is because you very much implied that architects marketing themselves would not or could not "make [architecture] seem impt to them [the public] to care." You seem to overall assume that "the product" an architect markets for him or herself is somehow going to be insufficient or even detrimental to architecture as a whole.
If by chance you dislike the notion of HOT ROD ARCHITECTURE and the advertising by an architect of such, that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be HOT ROD ARCHITECTURE, or there shouldn't be architects doing it, or even that there shouldn't be clients that want it.

ericharch, that's why I brought up the diversities of architectures issue. If there were more architects self promoting their particular "brand" of architectural service, then the public at learge would be much better informed as to what is actually available to them via architectural services.

e, you're right. EXTREME MAKEOVER HOME EDITION is very much promoting architectural services via the media. And don't forget the HOME CHANNEL (or whatever it's called). Let's hope architect's are at least more creative.
