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. -Muriel Emanuel vii ADVISERS Max Cetto Udo Kultermann Mildred F.
