User:Lexigator/Books/Placemaking: some architects and styles, 20c. and before vol. 3

Topics ~ Famas (Nov 2010)

 * 1 LEAD TOPIC for this volume: According to one author (not an architect, Dr Garry Stevens in "The Favored Circle", 1998, MIT) the public standing and repute of Rudolf Steiner among architects is made evident by the Macmillan Encyclopedia of Architects. Dr  Stevens, after remarking that not every major architect belongs to a master-pupil chain, continues: "Membership is not an absolute condition of membership. Of the first-order architects in the MEA, those occupying several pages, only Steiner [and the 6 named below]... have no connections of any kind with other architects. This is seven out of 114, or six per cent. Rudolf's Steiner's inclusion, let alone the length of his treatment, is a minor mystery. .."
