CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTS 1
Notes on Advisers and Contributors 925
INTRODUCTION
During the two years that I have spent preparing Contemporary Architects, I have come to hope that-because
of our very conscious involvement with architecture in our every movement as dwellers and workers-this book
will be of interest not only to the profession and its scholars, but also to the general public.
The selection of entrants has been based on the suggestions of our Advisory Board, listed on page ix. The
emphasis is, of course, on living architects and on those who have recently died; as well, we have included those
architects of the modern movement of the 1920's-1950's who, in the view of the Board, continue to exert an
important influence on architecture. Lacunae do exist, but not for our want of trying: our editors and researchers
simply were not able to establish accurate information about contemporary architecture in the U.S.S.R. and some
of the countries of Eastern Europe.
We have somewhat stretched the definition of "architect." We have tried to indicate the current importance
of both planning and theory by including as entrants those planners and theorists who may have few built works
to show for a lifetime's career but whose thinking and imaginative visions have profoundly influenced architects
throughout the world. Likewise, we have included those landscape architects who have made an outstanding
contribution to our understanding of the best utilizations of open space. Also included are the most prominent
structural engineers of our era-those who have increased the possibilities for architecture. The lines that
separate the architect from the theorist from the planner from the engineer grow increasingly indistinct, and
many entrants now work within multi-disciplinary firms. Other entrants are individuals in private practice;
others are individuals who head large and diverse firms; still others are partnerships of various kinds. We hope
that our choices reflect both the diversity and continuity of architecture as it enters the 1980's.
The research work was carried out mainly at the libraries of the Royal Institute of British Architects and the
Architectural Association in London, the Avery Library of Columbia University in New York, and the Burnham
Library of the Art Institute of Chicago. To all the librarians who answered my often seemingly unanswerable
questions and searched for papers, periodicals, theses, and mislaid books-my thanks. Thanks, too, to our main
translators, Fay Lunzer and Brenda Ohlman, and to those contributors who went far beyond the task of writing
essays to assist, suggest and encourage throughout the project-Teresa Czaplinska-Archer, Philip Drew, Chris
Fawcett, Geoffrey Jellicoe, Esther McCoy, Mitchell B. Rouda, Franz Schulze, Hiroshi Watanabe, and Arnold
Whittick. The work of the dead entrants of the inter-war and post-war years has usually been well documented,
but just the same there were problems: I'm grateful to all those contributors, as well as to the families and former
associates of recently deceased architects, who were kind enough to look over and correct my work.
Documentation on living architects, when it is available, is less exacting, and my last acknowledgement will
seem curious only to those who have never been involved in such research. I wish to thank the entrants. I am
very grateful to all of them for their (often exceedingly time-consuming and painstaking) documentation of a
lifetime's work, for their diligence in selecting and preparing their bibliographies, for their readiness to write
statements on their work especially for this book, and for their seemingly endless patience in responding to my
questions. Without the enthusiasm, cooperation and hard work of the 400 living architects included here,
Contemporary Architects would not exist.
