FRAC Centre[edit]

I read your list of architects. What about the 196os experimental architects like Jean Louis Chaneac, Antti Lovag, Pascal Hausermann, Peter Cook, etc. who, already, during their life time, have had some of their buildings considered as historical monuments? If you want to know more about these architects, you should contact the FRAC Centre in Orleans, France, who organises regular exhibitions on their work. Pascal Hausermann. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:194.230.159.248 (talk) 21:13, 22 September 2003 (UTC).[reply]

List of architecture firms[edit]

Since the mid-20th century, it has become more and more common that architects work as offices and groups, less as individuals (Herzog & de Meuron vs. Le Corbusier), so I'd suggest we also include famous architect offices in this list. Spinster (talk) 15:18, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)]]

Maybe an article like List of architecture firms? I'd be willing to populate this to get it started. --Junesix (talk) 15:32, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)

Antonio da Sangallo[edit]

Which 16th century Antonio da Sangallo artitect are we interested in? Antonio da Sangallo the Elder or Antonio da Sangallo the Younger? Or both?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Ricky81682 (talk) 03:43, 2 December 2004 (UTC).[reply]

Why not put both? --Junesix (talk) 18:00, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)

Sagrada Familia![edit]

List of architects and no Gaudi in it?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:195.70.48.242 (talk) 14:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC).[reply]

British architects[edit]

Architects listed by country but there's no section for British architects? Dbowles (talk) 02:56, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

20th or 21st Century?[edit]

The listing of people in the twenty-first Century group seems arbitrary, I think some explanation of criteria needs to be shown. Why, for example is Zaha Hadid, who was fairly well-known in 1980 and fifty-years-old in 2000, considered a twenty-first Century architect?--JO 24 (talk) 20:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You could argue Hadid didn't really get much built until the C21. It seems that there is a need for some criteria, though really it depends on the individual and is probably a case-by-case thing. Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 13:11, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

list of Chinese architects[edit]

This link was red and I tried to fix it but it only had an internal Category link. I'm not sure how to add this link from a category to the regular list. it did put the list as a category at page bottom and removed the Red link. does anyone know how to correct this so the list shows up in the correct place?

Measurements?[edit]

Hi, we need to find a clearer definition who's "notable" enough for this list. Cheers, Horst-schlaemma (talk) 23:35, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It appears to me[edit]

that the 21st-century architects section is alphabetized following the Icelandic practice of doing it by first name. Is that really how we want it to be? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:30, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see I wrote this 4 years ago, no one seems to care. But as it is it really sucks and will take a lot of work to fix and I don't want to do that if there is some mysterious reason behind why the two parts of the 21 Century are alphabetized differently? Also does James Garrison (architect) really belong here?Carptrash (talk) 17:38, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
