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.

[edit] List of architecture firms

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. [[User talk:Spinster 15:18, 5 Jan 2004 (UTC)]]

[edit] Antonio da Sangallo

Which 16th century Antonio da Sangallo artitect are we interested in? Antonio da Sangallo the Elder or Antonio da Sangallo the Younger? Or both?

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

[edit] Sagrada Familia!

List of architects and no Gaudi in it?

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

[edit] 20th or 21st Century?

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)

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)
