Architects and buildings

Richard Economakis: «Exemplary applications of the principles of neo-traditional architecture and town planning are being made by Demetri Porphyrios, Robert Adam and John Simpson in Britain; Leon Krier, Marc and Nada Breitman, Francois Spoerri and Christian Langlais in France; Pier-Carlo Bontempi, Gabriele Tagliaventi and Ettore Mazzola in Italy; Javier Cenicacelaya, Manuel Iniguez and Alberto Ustarraz in Spain; and Jose Cornelio Da Silva in Portugal, among others. In the US, excellent work is being done by Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater Zyberk, Stefanos Polyzoidis, Scott Merrill and many others.» Michael Lykoudis: «Among neo-traditional buildings, I would point out the new college building in Oxford designed by Demetri Porphyrios; the new library in Chicago designed by Thomas Beeby; the new building at the William and Mary University in Williamsburg, Virginia, designed by Allan Greenberg; Breitman’s apartment complex in Paris (Plessis Robinson); the reconstruction of the Rue de Laken in Brussels by various European architects; the city hall in Windsor, Florida by Leon Krier; and Nea Pitiousa on the island of Spetses, also by Porphyrios.»
