So I've been collecting loads and loads of names, who put the craft of 21st century traditionalist and New Classical Architecture in the spotlight, and who do well at it. :)

Thought it'd be good to have a list for an overview here. Please post additional names (if possible incl. websites and encyclopedic entries)! Of any new classical contemporary architects that you know of or stumble upon.

The most current version of the architects list can be found here:
List of Architects at Wikipedia

The general thread about new classical / new traditionalist architecture is this:
--- New Buildings Built in Traditional Architecture Style ---

Richmond Riverside by Quinlan Terry, built 1987 (Nick Taimitarha)

The international Driehaus Architecture Prize is the most notable award in new classical and traditional architecture in the world.

It comes with a prize money of $200'000, twice that of the modernist Pritzker Prize. It is given to an architect "whose work embodies the principles of classical and traditional architecture and urbanism in society, and creates a positive, long lasting impact."

You're right, thanks for pointing out! I didn't add that myself.

@Chimer: Thank you for the addition! That's very heavy, ornate stuff. But that sort of is the Russian way isn't it. ;)

It'd be great if you could create a list of his works. This could be included in a Wiki article about Dmitry Barhin then (is there a Russian one already?). For more pictures, I suggest you use the other thread, as this one here is dedicated to the architects themself and only 1-5 examples of their work. :)

^ Thanks, yeah, I was using that a lot already! :) America is amazing in building networks that are on the spot. You'll find something good for about anything.

This firm unites some really well-crafting people, too:
Historical Concepts

And these guys are phenomenal:
Ferguson & Shamamian

Check their projects yourself. They were just voted into the Top 100 Architects of Architectural Digest. For a reason, obviously. :eek:kay:

I'm still constantly updating the list of architects, check it out. You can spend hours looking at all the grandeur!

Well, the "idiot" is right though. Mere link lists aren't allowed at Wikipedia, at least not in such a thematic article. Else we'd have "yellow pages" like articles all around. What I wanted to do is to create a seperate list, that's where we can put it in a table. Perhaps this weekend I'll have some leisure to do it.

Btw, article content at Wikipedia can always be restored via the history. Unless it's copyrighted material that was hard-deleted. This is the New Classical architects list prior to deletion.

As I said, I'll outsource it, so please don't revert again. You might get blocked from editing Wikipedia.

The architects list of October '14 can be found here: Wikipedia
It's currently put in a proper table format and will be back soon.

Btw, did anyone of you come across Canadian New Classical architects so far? Thanks. :)

Hi Kandi, thank you for the additions! Though if you check the websites more carefully, you'll realise that BrooksMurray hardly builds new classical, but merely renovates historical buildings. Their new-builts are mostly modernist. Such companies aren't included here. Thanks for your attention :)

The website of Thomas Robinson Architects is exceptional! Great work.

Thanks for the additions! Everyone also check the current U/C architects' list beforehand (via Ctrl+F search), if they're listed already.

A great stock of talented people is listed here:

Of course. The list will be shared with all relevant organisations, academic instutions and also with all listed architects (if I manage to get all the contacts). Connecting the New Classical world is the key to success. :)

This post at the Italian forum helps to identify one or another additional architect:

SirAce said:
Comunque anni fa, facevo delle ricerche teoriche sull'architettura "fuori scala".
E mi resi conto che in Italia (e anche in USA) ci sono centinaia di architetti neotradizionalisti che si scagliano contro il modernismo arrivando a tacciarlo anche di anticristianesimo...ovviamente considerano quasi tutto il modernismo fuori scala e fuori contesto rispetto al costruito storico.

Tra i teorici più influenti c'è questo personaggio, non a caso divenuto idolo (ricambiato) di Alemanno durante i suoi anni bui...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikos_Salingaros

In particolare, Salingaros si scagliava (seguito ovviamente da Krier e Portoghesi) contro il decostruttivismo e contro il fenomeno delle archistar che producono in serie architetture sempre simili al loro stile fregandosene del contesto (e in questo secondo me qualche ragione ce l'ha).

Un suo testo particolarmente influente fu questo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Theory_of_Architecture

Tra i fenomeni teorici che si pongono in scia in Italia segnalo i seguenti

E tra i progettisti ce ne sono una marea ma segnalo questi che sono i primi che mi sono capitati sotto mano...

Gosh, I'll be busy for ages to include all those architects I've missed (when banned etc.) in the Wiki list! :lol:

I'll put it back online asap though, so you can add some of the ones listed here by yourself.

What do you guys think, should this thread be moved to the new Architects Forum?

That one could need a bit of mix-up and everyone interested in all sorts of architects would stumble upon it, not just the classical "classical" fans. ;)

We should start to introduce some of those fabulous architects at the Architects subforum.

For a starter, how about Quinlan Terry and brother, Leon & Rob Krier, Hans Kollhoff, Tobias Nöfer, Robert Stern, David M. Schwarz, ...?! :)
