Notes
1 Nikolaus Pevsner, Pioneers of the Modern Movement: From William Morris to Walter Gropius (London: Pelican, 1960).
2 This can be traced back to the origins of art history and Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of Artists (translated by Julia Conaway Bondanella and Peter Bondanella, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991) in the 1550s.
3 For instance, at the time of writing this introduction, the number one bestselling book on Amazon.com in the category of architecture is The Lego Architect (San Francisco: No Starch Press, 2015) by Tom Alphin. The book is a potted history of architecture (the last five centuries) told through a chronology of iconic styles, architects and buildings – reproduced in Lego. Although the book is predominantly a testament to the popularity and longevity of Lego, it is also evidence of the persistence, in the public imagination and popular discourses, of the canon of “great architects” and “great buildings.”

11 In 2007, Colomina had organized the exhibition and publication Clip/Stamp/Fold: The Radical Architecture of Little Magazines, 1960–1970 (Princeton, NJ: Actar Publishers, 2010), which explored the role of printed media in avant-garde architecture. Parnell and Power’s exhibitions focused on the “mainstream” media, such as Architectural Design and The Architectural Review.

22 Richards was an architectural critic, author and editor of The Architectural Review. Preoccupied by anonymous architecture, he wrote about both industrial buildings and the suburb, e.g. J. M. Richards, The Functional Tradition (London: The Architectural Press, 1958) and J. M. Richards, Castles on the Ground: The Anatomy of Suburbia (London: The Architectural Press, 1946).
23 Inspired by Darling’s keynote paper, after the symposium I rewrote the call for papers for this special issue, with a greater focus on the theme of anonymity. Several of the articles contained in the issue were developed from papers delivered at the symposium (Parnell, Massey, Hendon, Kei, Hoskins and Preston), and the other articles were received in response to the renewed call.
